First off, thanks so much for the guide. I'm sure it was a lot of work and is certainly appreciated. Second, is there a way to do this using a Windows machine? I know nothing about Linux and do not have a system to use? I would just like to be able to create a way to choose whether to boot to the VCS or Windows (installed in an internal SSD MD drive). Unfortunately the "esc" key method doesn't really work for me because I run the VCS through my A/V receiver and it just doesn't detect the boot screen so I would have to learn to do the process blind and hope I hit the right combination of buttons.. Thanks again! Brad

I had to follow the guide listed above to roll back the BIOS. I was then able to enter the bios and make the changes needed. I've since been able to install Win10 on an internal SSD M2 drive and have it set up on the Atari. Now I've just got to figure out the whole dual boot fiasco... Unfortunately, because I'm running the system through my A/V receiver I can't really use the "esc" key method to boot to windows because I would be trying to do it blind.. I really need to figure out either Grub or reFind. I see that .nIkO. has posted a reFind guide so I'll start there!

I finally figured out why I thought the system was hanging. Apparently during boot up the signal from the VCS was not sending properly through my receiver to the TV.. So, I thought it was stuck, but it was actually sitting on the selection screen. I plugged the VCS directly into the tv and now I can get to the bios menu. Unfortunately, because I have a new system with the new bios, the Celebrates password won't work. Looks like I've got to roll back the bios... Thanks for the help!

Has the new bios been completely locked and no longer accessible? I've tried the "esc" key and the "f5" key, but no luck. If I don't press any keys then the system will start normal. However, if I press either the esc or f5 keys then it never boots.. It just sits on a blank screen until I restart the system.. Am I doing something wrong or have they locked us out.. Thanks, Brad
