How to enter bios and install multiple OS

I just bought a HP Envy 700 430 QE.  I can't even get into my BIOS to change the order of boot and set  up new hard drives.  I have an OCZ 240 \GB PCI SSD and two Samsung SSDs.  On my old Gateway, I could press Del to get into Bios and then F12 to select the hard drive I wanted. How do I get into the BIOS on this HP and can I set it u p like I had my old Gateway where I could  pick anyone of  four drives to boot  up? rayboyusmc

Use the ESC after power on to bring up the Startup menu then F10 as recommended by Mumbodog.  ----------------------------- BTW ---- Unplug the original boot drive until after the other OS is installed.

    Thank you

    Hi
    At first you must perform complete shutdown. How to do this you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
    Restart your notebook and press F12. There you should find setup options for BIOS settings.

    Hi
    Just bought today.... I am anxious to install other operating systems but can't figure how to enter BIOS to enable it to boot from CD.

    Hi.
    Have you read the User Manual? I think it will be somewhere in the book. However, for this gen, you can access BIOS by F2 and boot up list with F12
    Enjoy.

    I have installed a new motherboard into my HP Pavilion.
    I have tried to update the BIOS for this motherboard and since doing this it is not possible to change the sata controller mode from RAID to anything ese - it will not save the settings.
    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?
    Many thanks

    Ok, since this forum is for Photoshop Standard and Photoshop Extended, we don't know much about Photoshop Elements. There is a Photoshop Elements forum and I'll link it for you since they best know how to field your questions.

  • 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.

    Simplest answer is to download the Trial version, from Adobe's website, of whichever CS6 product you have a serial number for then enter the serial number to convert the trial to a licensed version.

  • The Safari on my iMac is no longer supported, how can I download   and install a new version?

    The Safari browser on my iMac OSX 10.6.8 is no longer supported. How can I download and install a supported Safari browser?

    If you’re running Safari 5.1.10, you need to either upgrade the computer’s OS or switch browsers.
    To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • Need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook.......

    need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook? removal of cmos, resetting laptop, using cccleaner, windows password recovery and hiren's was noneffective, any help is appreciated. thanks

    Hi,
    As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords.  Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

  • Acrobat 7, needed with FrameMaker 7: How do I get and install an "Adobe PDF printer instance?"

    In FrameMaker, when I try to save a FrameMaker file as a PDF file, I get the following message: "FrameMaker could not find Adobe PDF printer instance, which must be installed to execute "Save as PDF" command".  I have a sinking feeling that I deleted that printer instance from my list of printers, thinking I did not need such a printer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FrameMaker 7, Acrobat 7 and Reader 9. All reinstalled successfully, EXCEPT still no Adobe PDF printer instance. Thus my question: how do I get and install that Adobe PDF printer instance?
    .( I am using a new computer. I still have my old computer available, with the Adobe PDF printer instance on it. If I could find where in the old machine (Windows XP)  the files are for it, I could copy them to the new machine).
    Thanks in advance  for any advice.

    Just curious,
    What is the new machine's OS (& is it 32-bit or 64-bit)?
    Be well...
