Screwed Up The Bios Of My New Emachine Et 1870...

Hello, I kinda need some help, so I hope I can find it here. Today I brought the Acer eMachine ET1870, to find at home that the ps/2 mouse and keyboard connectors weren't working. I assumed that this was a default setting and i accessed the bios to turn it on. Unfortunately I didn't find the ps/2 enable button, so after searching the internet i did something reaaaallly stupid. I changed the bios settings to default. And now... My system can't start up anymore... I assumed it had something to do with the boot drive. I have first boot at the hard disk now but it still doesn't work. Can someone give me any tips/hints on this matter? Thanks in advance! Linda
