    Hey is the g2s-a1 bios locked out for warranty reasons or something? Well the problem im having is the didn't leave the dvd/cd boot disks first. Is there a way I can do this? I don't care if the warranty is voided i just kinda need to have that set to the first boot device. *Boot Live Linux*

    You pressed F2 during bootup, correct?

    And no, they don't lock the BIOs.

    Haha, no worries. I thought it was F8 for the longest time until the day when I found out it didn't work ;)

    I personally like F12. Few machines had that though...
