It seems my Dell 530 desktop starts up slower now that I upgraded the BIOS. How can I reset/downgrade the BIOS to factory setting?

If you are running Windows XP do a system restore. But BEWARE. You will lose everything you have installed since you started operating.

Here is the Dell tech support article for PC Restore to re-image the system to the factory settings.

1 Turn on the computer.

The Progress window will appear. Once the restore process starts, Dell PC Restore by Symantec usually takes about 8 to 10 minutes to finish.
When the restore process is complete, the following message will appear:

The software is now installed as it was when the computer was first received

Have you tried changing the boot order.
If you're trying to use it as a boot device you need to tell the system to boot the cd /dvd drive FIRST and of course you need to have a bootable cd / dvd in the drive.
Let me know if you're already tried this.
