Hi,
Shut down the notebook by holding down the left Shift key as you click on Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot.
Tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to see if this will launch the Start-up Menu.  If it does, select f10 to enter the bios menu.

  • Qosmio X775: How do I enter BIOS?

    How do I enter the BIOS?
    I'm trying to enter the BIOS of my Qosmio X775 to check some settings. ESC, F1, F2, F10, F12 all take me to boot manager.  My system seems to be set to fast start, so I tried ESC > F1, which also takes me to boot manager.
    Thanks.

    F2 finally worked,
    Maybe you pressed it before the power button? That's necessary if things are set for Fast Boot.
    (Mentioning that for somebody else who might read this thread.)
    F2 actually did not work for me. My Qosmio screen disappeared after I changed the boot speed from normal to fast. I'm trying to boot into the HDD Recovery, but I can't get to it via F12 anymore. I put Windows 8.1 on my Qosmio and there is no boot screen that shows up. Should I post this in a new thread, or can someone help me here?

    On most of the newer HP business PC's you tap the ESC key ASAP to get a menu of choices.

  • How to enter bios on a Pavillon p7-1459

    I am installing a new HDD and I want to install windows 8 with my recovery discs.
    So ,how can i enter bios to format the new HDD and start the recovery from mi discs.
    Thanks for any help.

    Cucutitos, welcome to the forum.
    You will not have to enter th BIOS to format the new HDD.  Here is what you have to do:
    System Recovery: This option reformats the system drive (usually C:\), reinstalls the original operating system, and reinstalls all the original hardware drivers and software.
     Warning:If the size of the OS partition (usually C:\) was reduced below a minimum size requirement, other user-created partitions will be removed and stored data will be destroyed.
    Also, here is a guide to give you further help.  Make certain that the new HDD is the same size of larger than the current HDD.
    Note: To enter the BIOS begin immediately tapping the "esc" key when the computer begins to boot.

    Hi
    To enter BIOS settings please press ESC button at start up. After that press F1.
    By the way: when you start notebook for a short moment you can see the message how to enter BIOS settings. It is displayer at the bottom left side at start up.
    Del button will be used on desktops, not on laptops.

  • How to enter BIOS mode on Satellite 5200?

    Hello!
    I own a Satellite 5200-801 and Ive recently bought a new CD/DVD - rom cause the original just died. The thing is that the drive I bought is from US market and my laptop is European. So Ive double checked all the serial numbers on it and everything was correct except the manufacture serial number that I suppose makes no difference to be different.
    My problem is that when I install it the light indicator flashes normal but when it boots it shoes IDE error boot and windows doesnt see it at all. Do u know how can I enter BIOS setting to change master/slave cause I believe that there is a difference among them at this point....the original is master and the second is csel.
    Also is there a key to enter BIOS because I cant enter at all no matter key combinations. Finally if I change the reading head of the DVD/ROM and put back the original would make the change I need?
    THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!

    As far as I know you cannot change anything in BIOS but check it again. To enter BIOS settings press ESC button at start up.
    Good luck!

    I have replaced the CMOS battery and changed the CMOS jumper but nothing has worked. Can anyone provide the original BIOS file so I can try and re-flash it?
    Or does anyone have any other suggestion?

  • How to enter BIOS settings on Equium L10?

    Please can someone tell me what button i press too get into the bios setup at the start when i switch my pc on cos i have tried every thing, but nothing works.

    Hello
    Every time when you switch the notebook ON you can see at the bottom left hand site the short instruction how to enter BIOS settings. In your case you must use F2 button. Please keep it down immediately after switching the notebook ON.
    Generally the Toshiba notebooks are delivered with two different BIOS versions (BIOS producer):
    - TOSHIBA BIOS: enter using ESC and F1 button
    - Phoenix BIOS: enter using F2 button.
    According the specification your unit has Phoenix BIOS.

  • How to enter BIOS on NB100?

    How do I enter IOS set up?
    I read on the web that this is done on the NB100 by holding down the power on buttone and esc. Thjen pressing F1 but this doesn't work.
    What am I doing wrong please?

    On the Linux version you press F2 to enter the BIOS setup, and F12 to choose which drive to boot from.
    It shows this on the bottom of the screen when it starts up. You have to be quick, it's only on for a couple of seconds.
