Hi there,
I am installing a CD-RW on a Packard Bell PC. I need to access the BIOS
to force the CD-RW to the Secondary Slave, but can't get into the BIOS.

Have tried Del, Ctrl+Alt+Ins, Ctrl+Alt+Esc Ctrl+Alt+F2 etc but no luck.

I don't want people telling me I shouldn't access the BIOS, or I
shouldn't need to do it. The fact is I do want to enter the BIOS setup
and need to know how to do it.

I have never seen any true answers to this question, people always talk
around it, but never actually answer the question, so....  I throw out
the challenge  :o)

Happy New Year to you all...
Thanks 
Andrew
