Thats still windows.  Your computer does what BIOS says until it looks for
an operating system.  At that point the changes you made with tweakui will
be in effect.  The splash screen you're refering to is the "starting windows
95" screen, the logo Andrew is talking about is one of the first things on
the screen when he turns on.

And I dont see how forcing the CD drive to sec slave in bios will help
myself . . . Check your other drive's status (pri slave etc)  But I still
know you need to get in there =)  Try forcing an error - unplug the keyboard
or hold down a key.
