I just got this machine and within 24 hours of getting it home I managed to make a mistake.
I felt like trimming some of the un-needed onboard devices and started messing around in the BIOS.
One of the ways I simplified things was by disabling the "LSI MPI Boot Support" option, which actually removed it from the Boot Order list.
It turns out that I actually do want to boot from the SCSI drive but now I cant put it in the boot order. I'm now stuck hitting F1 to boot any time I restart.
My first 'fix' was to clear CMOS and pull the mobo battery. No luck. It cleared everything but didnt bring back the LSI.
'Fix' two was to reset the bios to defaults. Nope...
Three was to upgrade the bios to the latest version. Nope...
HP support will charge me $25 to help but I'm not confident that they'll have any better help than what I've dug up on their site myself.
Help please.
