Keep tapping delete as you boot up the comp. You need a ps/2 keyboard though. Not a USB keyboard.

well it's a laptop... so the keyboard is built in :\

Plus I don't really need this anymore... I got windows back on my old computer /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' /> got the stupid person to activate it 2x /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
