Amy, thanks for the idea, but this is a 5 year old DELL and there is no
default on this setup, and since it doesn't find the CD or hard drive,
I can't reach F8. And, since I bought it used, I can't go to DELL for
help.  Somebody must know how to program the BIOS chip????

repeatedly, and it should go into setup mode. On the
boot menu, you can change it back, or on the Advanced
menu, you can restore defaults.
