Going by the thread title I'd say it's a Dell.

Re: time

make sure teh bios has been set to teh correct type of disk. Is it an IDE or SCSI disk? (hint, SCSI disks usually connect to a card rather than the motherboard direct. it could be your using IDE disk but teh BIOS is set to boot from SCSI first hence the problem

It's a Time computer, the bios only has an option for elastic band or piece of string

Re: time

so why are most large corporates moving to Lenovo?

to the OP

Flash protection enabled is nothing to do with it.

Where did you look for realtek boot? write down teh exact detailks of whats on teh screen including the other options and post them here so I can check your looking at teh right place
