RE: Chaning system BIOS whilst in windows? possible?
Never ever remove the battery if you:
1) are not the admin of the pc
2) don't know what all the settings were (yes, only very rarly the default settings are all used!!!!!)
Now, you didn't tell if there are actually more options to choose from (in theory) for the bootsequence. This is highly important to answer your question.
This is because not all BIOSes (mostly the old ones) support an "alternative" boot sequence which includes cdroms and other media.
So it could have been this why you can't change it. However, in your last post you gave a hint that the cdrom is listed together with the HDD in the bootsequence. So the above doesn't apply.
In that case, it can be that some BIOS settings are locked with an administrating pasword. This is not the same password which you possibly need to type to enter the BIOS. In certain BIOSes you can set levels of passwords and depending on the level you can change certain stuff...
If it isn't that, then I have no idea why you couldn't change it...
