Can you please clarify the predicate
 "as long as the user does not change a BIOS setting and have usual devices 
(such as IDE disks)."

Is that:

as long as the user
        1.       does not change a BIOS setting
 and 2.      [does] have usual devices (such as IDE disks).

or is it:

as long as the user does not
          1.  change a BIOS setting
  and 2  [does not] have usual devices (such as IDE disks).
