Hi William: This is possible, but it's also possible that MIT made some changes to the BIOS settings too before providing you the machine.
Towards your Dell Factory changing a setting: Try toggling AHCI->ATA. If these systems were shipped with Windows, it's quite possible that setting gets flipped in the factory to prevent having to have another driver during factory windows installation. Also, CPU XD support can get toggled in the factory (generally to off) if it's known to give some problems with software that is supported on the machine. -- Jaunty will not boot on Dell Optiplex 760 unless hpet=disable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
