Check the motherboard manual or go to Intel's web site to find out about your particular BIOS version.

Some motherboards change the boot order every time you plug or unplug a device. ~af -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
