Hey there,
I've started up my computer today and it boots into the BIOS. It does the memory test but right before it searches for the masters and slaves it goes to the BIOS. The computer was working fine yesterday. So is there anything i can do to make it not boot in the BIOS???
Thanks you for your time!!!

Verify all your settings and Save on Exit. Could be
1) it needs something set so it defaults there until it is set.
2) one of your IDE devices is giving up the ghost.

Three separate machines?
Have you loaded the same software on each of the three? (Maybe malware)
Or is this a hoax posting............

Do you have a complete legal copy of Windows 98?
Sounds like something you downloaded.Maybe a pirated copy.

3 different computers tends to stretch the imagination.

"The Twilight Zone"

You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into... the Twilight Zone.
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call "The Twilight Zone".
