          I’ve found a document on doing it. Will need to create a manual jumper with a paperclip. I don’t mind giving it a go. We have cover so if I blow it up, we will get it replaced 🙂

              I have found some more information that I think would be even better. I’ll test it, then send it over Wednesday.
              See, UK chum… this could be good…

                  Dell Client Configuration Utility lets you create a stand-alone executable package that can configure BIOS, update BIOS, or capture BIOS settings inventory data. The executable package can be run as a stand-alone package or used with enterprise software deployment tools.

                      I could be wrong, but I think that will still override it. That program will give you access to features you never even knew you had on the BIOS. For instance, set the machine to PXE boot at the next restart automatically.
