well i just finished building my first computer and i have to say that it was great building it and seeing it turn on in the first try. Then i ran in to a problem. i was setting up the bios, which i am not farmiliar with at all, i put the cd drive to be the only thing booting and i disabled the rest, now i am unable to get back to the bios. i have even tried un plugging the mobo with the hopes that it will reset the bios. is there any way i can go back to the way it was when i first started it. any help at all would be great because when i get to the bios i dont even know what i need to change if anything. please help me becasue i currently have a 700 dollar paper weight.

any help with what i should do to get the computer up and running would be a huge help, i am very worried that i did something really wrong and that it can never be resurected.

thanks for any help.
 
Typically you will need to hit the del key to get into the BIOS. If you want to reset it, you can do so either by moving the clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard (the motherboard manual will tell you where it is), or by removing the battery on the motherboard for a few minutes.
 
what am i looking to change once i get to the bios? shouldnt it be set up correctly, and all i would have to do is change it to have it boot from the cdrom drive first so that i can install windows?
