I have got this PC:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=ibm&lndocid=MIGR-39510
I am not sure what type of BOIS does it have.
Each PC (At work we have got many)has got two HDs,,,,,,Master (Segate) and Slave (Western Digital) connected to one ribbon cable to IDE0,,,,and CD Rom connected to IDE1.
When I booted the system there are two option
Press F1 for setup
Press F12 for startup Device Menu.

If I choose F1 for Setup,,,,I have many options,,,,under "Devices" --> "IDE Drives Setup" :
IDE Drive 0
IDE Drive 1
IDE Drive 2
IDE Drive 3
IDE Drive 0 and IDE Drive 1 for HDs master and slave respectively,,,,, IDE Drive 2 for CD Rom.
How can I change the order of the booting devices,,,, IDE Drive 1 before IDE Drive 0 ?,,,because I can not see any option in the BIOS to help me out.

there should be some kind of help option at the BIOS, try the up/down arrow or +/- at the keypad
