I told the BIOS to look at the CD drive first hoping it would boot from the CD but that doesnt work. The last thing I was doing before it locked up was it asked what I wanted my bootstrap to be full BSD or dual Win/BSD then went on to the install and it locked up. Is there something I can do do start over? -- Things I learned from Star Wars Do not use targeting computers to blow up a Death Star. Trust the voices in your head.
