Hello,
I have an Alienware X51 R2 Desktop PC. Ever Since I installed the drivers for the ethernet network card, I always get this at startup:

I have to press ESC to continue or it tries to load indefinitely. Apparently, it´s trying to boot from network (I never asked for this, and I wasn´t even aware that this existed)
I already disabled the option for Network boot in Boot options on the Alienware BIOS, but this crap keeps appearing.
I found this article on the Intel website:
http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-008018.htm
It´s completely unhelpful, mainly because it tells you that you need to run BootUtil.exe in DOS, not Windows command line, or it won´t work. As far as I'm aware ever since Windows XP there is no DOS included, only command line.
The "Running BootUtil.exe" article makes no sense to me, it's all a bunch of command line switches I don´t understand.
Can anyone tell me in plain English, what can I do to disable this annoyance?
