You have to press the key right when your system boots up, try pressing del, esc, tab,
Here is a refrence list of some bios keys for diffrent machines: Press Tab during boot=Emachine Press del during boot= (AMI, Award). Press Esc during boot= Toshiba. Press F1 during boot= (Toshiba; Phoenix; Late model PS/1 Value Point and 330s). Press F2 during boot = (NEC). Press F10 when square in top RH corner of screen= (Compaq). Press Ins during boot=IBM PS/2 with reference partition. Shift Ctrl Alt + Num Pad del= - Olivetti PC Pro. Ctrl Alt =some PS/2s, such as 75 and 90. Ctrl-Esc = Misc Puters Ctrl Ins= some PS/2s when pointer at top right of screen. Press reset twice= some Dells. Ctrl Alt Enter= Dell. Ctrl Alt Esc=AST Advantage, Award, Tandon. Ctrl Alt + =Misc Puters Ctrl Alt S= Phoenix. Ctrl Alt Ins= (Zenith, Phoenix) Ctrl S =(Phoenix). Ctrl Shift Esc= Tandon 386. |
