You have to get into the bios settings. For my gateway, I just have to smash my f2 key.

Be sure you know how to reinstall Windows because I'm pretty sure it's going back on there when you realize that linux sucks.

Mantra lies. Linux is god. If you got any questions once you install it, hit me up with an IM, PM, whatever, I'll try to help the best I can.
