I did something weird and now when I try to boot my system it automatically asks for the CD as primary boot. Went into CMOS and tried to change primary boot to HD but won't work like its stuck on the CD/DVD drive as primary boot. BIOS I was able to change but when I reboot, it still asks for the CD which I can't locate. Any suggestions would help me from going crazy here.

There should be a setting i believe it is the last or one of the last categories in there. This should allow you to set everything back to default?

Sounds a bit strange. Usually if a system doesn't detect a boot partition on the particular device it will automatically goto the next one.

Was the something weird done only in the bios settings?

Need to change sequence in CMOS, BIOS can be changed. CMOS says use arrow/page keys but they won't work. Still down and out. Please help.

I was trying to load an application when the system froze, when I did the reboot, it gave me a message that it needed to boot from the CD. Then I checked CMOS and the CD drive was primary and also in BIOS. I changed it in BIOS but CMOS still has CD in the primary boot sequence. The arrows/page up/down don't do anything. Since I don't have the CD, can anyone tell me how to change the CMOS to the hard drive to boot from???????
