Re: I can't get access to the Bios setup

Quote originally posted by joshuu ...
I want to go to the bios setup to make some settings changes so that I can run windows startup disk as it not being recognised as of now.
The problem is that I cant get to the setup no matter how hard i try to do it .I tried pressing either esc, del, ctrl-esc,ctrl-alt-esc with no success and the system don't show that message 'strike a key to enter the setup'.I cant load the os as the system doesnt recognise the harddisk;'invalid system disk' it says.
Have you tried the function keys at startup. Usually F2 or F8, sometimes F1 or F4.

Re: I can't get access to the Bios setup

If people care to read the article I linked earlier in this topic, you'll find that it includes all the keypresses for just about any machine you could encounter, and they are organised in accordance with the systems they relate to.

Re: I can't get access to the Bios setup

Go to HP home page (they bought Compaq) and search for SP8126.EXE . It will create 3 dsk's . The setup.exe is on the 2nd. dsk.

Good luck

Re: I can't get access to the Bios setup
ACCESS TO BIOS. I've read the article and posts on BIOS and unfortunately none of them seem to work. I have a DELL 8300 running XP-Pro, SP3. I replaced the CMOS battery this morning and have not been able to access the BIOS screen since then. In fact none of the F keys work. They do work on applications, however, so I believe that the keyboard is ok.
Anyone have any ideas for me?
