That's really bad!! I helped my uncle buy a new PC which is an Intel DG965RY mobo. I don't remember exactly which BIOS it has. I hope its not Phoenix and even if it is, its not gonna hamper the system. Ubuntu installed just fine and saved the day for the partitioning and other stuff(too long to name it here :P) There are a LOT of updates to the BIOS mentioned on the site. **Enters thinking mode** Ugh!!!!

This might seriously harm the sales of Phenoix bios systems... And for those who don't know about this they will surely pull their hair after buying such a system if they dont plan to install Vista exclusively... Thanx a lot for the info kalpik…
