Thanks John, I can hit delete to get into the bios setup and F8 to get into the boot order so I am going to hit del, go into bios setup, change from ide to ahci and then within the boot setup I will change the boot to usb and hit continue, right? On a separate note, besides re-formating and installing windows on the ssd, should I do anything with the regular hard drive that is hooked up in the case. I don't have it activated to use when the computer is on but I would not mind having the extra storage if it doesn't hurt performance. If you were me, would you use both? If so, does it change anything with me wiping the ssd because of the hack or the instructions you gave me for that? Thank you. Frank
