I'm not so sure this will work but try it and see what happens.. Go into BIOS and change the first boot device to your hard drive.. This shouldn't matter, you should be able to boot cd's, dvd's, pen drives etc. w/o any trouble.. I'm just curious what happens.. I have been considering doing the same thing to my HP notebook.. I want to set it up for a dual boot, Linux being my primary and XP for games, I have no need for Vista. I hate to hear that this has happened to you.
