Reply #21: Any computer tech who couldn't recover from that should be fired

Nobody knows how to configure an old style BIOS? They don't have the device settings ANYWHERE? They have no idea how to tell it how to find the hard drive?

Sorry. If this were an untrained person saying this, I'd buy it, but if they were qualified enough to apply a patch, they'd be qualified enough to figure out how to set up the BIOS to boot. I did it myself numerous times back when we still used those cursed 286s.

If you have more than one machine that is the same, it's even easier, since you can usually copy the device settings from one to the other (or do they all have unique hard drives? Bull...not in a government setting).
