    I haven't been able to find anything in bios to change the order of
    the hard drives. It's simply cdrom, floppy, hard drives. Maybe I'm
    missing something but I've gone through it a couple of times?

    And I can't ssh into it to copy files, have to copy manually to this
    second computer.

    I'm using the Linux rescue on the install DVD to make changes,
    probably have grub messed up. I have the original saved tho.
