This will get you a prompt that, I believe, says hit F1 to go to the BIOS application. There are a bunch of items to pick from the main menu. I don't remember the exact names, but it will either say Keyboard or Pointing device or... Should be obvious. Then, just select "Disable" for the touch pad. Save the settings and forget it. [I did this on the very first boot of the machine out of the box; never been back to that section of the BIOS!] Couldn't be easier... [except that you have to reboot to do it.]
