Goodnight all. Good luck, Zilla.
Eliminate, eliminate, eliminate.
You need to access the BIOS at startup and check/modify the boot sequence. The BIOS cares not about drive letters of course.
There might also be an option to press a key during boot to get a menu of devices to boot from, thus overriding the BIOS sequence. It depends on your BIOS.

you need to enter your BIOS on startup. Usually something like hit the delete key or F8. Can't quyite remember of the top of my head. It will say (often only very briefly) on your startup splash screen.

14% of the first part of the first pass.
EDIT: On my 8 GB of RAM, a full single pass took about 50 minutes IIRC.

8 Meg? No programmer should ever use more than 64K.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

You know that's a urban legend, right?

First machine I worked on was an IBM 360 punch card mainframe. Had a whopping 128K of RAM, but you could only address 16K at a time without an Assembler callout. Taught you memory discipline.

First computer I actually used was a 80286. Shortly after that we got terminal for NCIC. That was fun. I had to fire two guys for checking on ex-wives and ex-girlfriends.

My boss at Nissan originally worked on an IBM 1401 with 4K of RAM. When I worked for him we were running an MVS-ESA IBM 390 with 2 Gig of directly addressable RAM. He just could not wrap his head around it. He'd never seen a relational database either (we were running DB2). They needed a part-to-car DB, so I wrote a very simple SQL query to extract all part numbers for a particular model or all models that used a particular part number. He said "are you sure it will work every time"? Well, yeah, actually.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
