I know others have turned it off, should be a bios setting. don't have any boxes new enough to have personal experiance, and how/if you can do it likely varies by bios vendor and which "features" are built into your' bios. best advice is to go into your' bios and look around, generally a good idea anyway (just don't start trying things out carelessly, i've seen people do that and then claim a harddrive was bad. it wasn't, they just changed the boot order and hence grub didn't have the right location). if you have or can find the motherboards manual it's a good place to start and often has detailed instructions. |
