How to enter the new UEFI( BIOS ), if UEFI does not respond to F10(esc, e.t.c.) at startup?

1) I bought a HP 255 .. preloaded with licensed windows 8.1 (overpaying about $ 150 compared with the same nout. with pre-dos ,
2)yesterday update the "BIOS" -UEFI- from HP website and on the recommendation and with the help of an assistant "Assistant HP",
3)reload (successfully re-entered the windows 8.1), and
4) wanted to put second OS (ubuntu Linux without removing the windows 8.1, which is totally legal action and a 100% user right !) in accordance with the instructions http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html. (way before such procedures have been much easier! Have to completely abandon the windows!)
5)After compression partition with win8.1 and release empty partition for second OS( Linux), off in the control panel windows "Fast Boot" I turned off the laptop (which is turned off and not in sleep mode switched). entered the UEFI, Turn off secure boot and Legacy Boot (probably in vain!)
After saving and rebooting the laptop completely refused to accept from the moment of "power On" the F10 (et al. Keys esc, F2..12), and showed only "black screen" without any symbols and inscriptions, though, and respond to Ctrl-Alt-Del (blinking backlight -reload). external monitor also showed "No Signal".
If I understand correctly, UEFI has been "upgraded" (not for the better by m.), And then at boot became a special check windows loader (type bootx64.efi) th right?
1) where (is there?) correct installation instruction 2nd OS (for example Linux Ubuntu), without removing the pre windows 8.1 (with the new UEFI)?
2) what can be done? How can I enter the UEFI-"BIOS"   to fix options (if i have not CD with windows8.1 liveCD, but have backup of pre-inst win8.1 from nout)?

You can do that without going in the BIOS(UEFI).  At the Start screen, type System Settings and hit Enter.  There is a Boot Options tab there where you can make your boot choice. However, for when you do need to get in the BIOS in Windows 8.x, Shutdown the computer while holding down the Shift key.  Then, on Startup, hold down or rapidly tap F2 while hitting the Power  button.
Yes, you do have a Recovery partition on your HDD and you were advised to make recovery media when first using your machine for even further protection in the future. It's up to you whether you wish to make even further images.  I do and I use Macrium also.
You need to spend some time with your User's Guide particularly starting on page 46 "Recovery of The Internal Storage Drive".

    Hi,
    Firstly, I would suggest we use Exchange 2013 FE as the Outlook Anywhere proxy server.
    For the certificate issue, it mostly occurs because the host name that Outlook are trying to access does not match the certificate SAN. Please check with this point. If they do not match, you
    can change the host name by referring to the following article:

  • I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC transfer program. CS5 started up on the new computer OK, but now does not recognize raw files. Should I uninstall and reinstall again?

    I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC mover ultimate. CS5 appeared to start up normally, I had to insert the serial number from my original CD. However, now the program does not recognize CR files and Adobe bridge is not working properly.  I get messages that CS5 needs to be updated, but the updates fail. What should I do? Should I uninstall CS5 on the new computer, uninstall CS5 on the old computer using the original CD, and then reinstall CS5 using the CD on the new computer?

    Transferring programs does not work well with Adobe applications.  You should install them.
    As far as having the program on different machines goes, you are allowed to have two activated installations so if it is working on the original machine there is no reason to remove it unless you need the space.

  • The lower row of my iphone does not respond to tapping. i.e. texting; the space bar, return

    The lower row of my iphone does not respond to tapping. i.e. texting; the space bar, return and number tabs and for phone; emergency, 0, and delete tabs.
    I've updated my phone, turned it off and on, charged it. Nothing. Help!

    Sounds like a hardware problem.  When you updated, that would have wiped the device and installed the latest iOS, thus pretty much eliminating a software issue.  You could try to restore as new, i.e. without your backup and see if it works factory fresh.  If still a problem, it's most likely a hardware issue.

  • Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black.  Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

    Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black.  Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything.  Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously.  Has anyone had this problem?  I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

    Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department.  Her suggestions:  change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers.  So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
    My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue.  It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more.  Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
    My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department.  Make them aware of this problem!

  • HT5076 The record button on my garageband does not respond/work. I can play, rewind, etc. The touch screen is fine. Please help.

    I recently backuped up all my apps and music/etc to the icloud. I had my ipad 4 touch screen repaired. I got thee ipad back in perfect working condition. however, when I launched garageband....I tried to record but the RECORD BUTTON does not respond. This is not a touch screen issue...I can press play, rewind, I can select instruments, I can play the virtual instruments etc. I tried rebooting my ipad and I also deleted and re-downloaded garageband. The issue is the same.
    Please advise.

    Did it work before?
    Does iHome say it is compatible with a 4G iPod with iOS 6.1.3? Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility.
    Make sure the iPod is fully seated in the dock. The case of the 4G is different than previous iPods and thus if the dockl\ was not designed with the 4G in mind it may not fully seat.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Reset the dock
    - Sometimes this works:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    Or it may just be not compatible

  • The Adobe Flash storage setting panel does not respond?

    It stays in the middle of the video and does not respond whether clicking agree or disagree. Am using the latest version of Opera and have not had this problem until recently. How do I get rid of it?

    Hi, I guess this is (almost) the same for Windows 2000 users? I have several folders with older Adobe/Shockwave appdata in my German Windows 2000 installation, e.g. C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Hans-Jürgen Bardenha\Anwendungsdaten\Adobe\Flash Player and/or C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Hans-Jürgen Bardenha\Application Data\Adobe\Shockwave Player 11, created on the date or shortly after OS installation. So it's safe to simply delete them with all their content if you have this issue of a freezing Adobe Flash setting panel?
    By the way, I'm asking because I also experience freezing problems now with Flash content on sites that worked fine before the update to the latest plugin. Disabling hardware acceleration in v10.1. didn't help either, I'm using the newest Opera 10.60 final, but on a very old computer.

  • HT201270 My ipad is displaying the carrier settings update box but does not respond to either the "update now" button or the "not now" button and has totally frozen. The ipad cannot switch off as I need to clear this box before I can "slide to shut down".

    Can anyone help me with carrier settings??? My ipad is displaying the carrier settings update box but will not respond when I press "update" or "not now". I have tried to switch the ipad off, but cannot "slide to shut down" as I need to clear the carrier settings box first!! HELP PLEASE!!!!

    Have you tried a reboot? Hold down the power and home buttons simultaneously. Ignore the Slide to Power Off prompt if it pops up. The display should go dark, and the Apple logo should appear as it begins a reboot. This is a soft reboot - it does not erase data.

  • Anyone know how to change the default font for the new pages? Apparently it does not even come up when I search the 'Help' section of Pages. The level of incompetence in this new version seems breathtaking

    I cannot find how to change the default font in the new Pages. It does not appear in the Help area when I search for it. I am never sing Helvetica for my standard documents and cannot seem to change it. What am I missing? And why does Pages help not have an easy answer?

    You open a blank template and change the font to you liking. Remember to also get all the styles changed with new font. Then Save As Template. Now you have a template with the font you like.

  • Firefox will no longer open on my Mac. I have tried downloading the new 7.0 but it does not prompt movement to the application folder. How to I make it work?

    I have tried multiple times to update the firefox7.0. It appears to download fine but I never get a prompt to move it to the applications folder. Now Firefox will not open at all (it was functioning sporatically over the past several months). How to fix?

    AFAIK cameras offer their own built-in format utility for inserted SD cards.  You should use that.  Otherwise, refer to the manual that came with your camera to determine precisely how your SD cards need to be formatted to work properly.  Personally, I'd suggest Partition Scheme: MBR, and Filesystem: FAT32.
    Try to limit the number of formats you perform on the SD cards, though, as you're reducing their lifespan.  I believe formatting causes re-writes to a portion of the SD card that has fewer read/write cycles than the rest of the card as a whole.

  • The window displaying bookmarks is too large (suddenly happened with the new version). I can't figure out how to make the display smaller. Zooming out does not work on the bookmark menu display.

    I have version 4, just downloaded, and a Mac w. OS 10.6. 7.
    The bookmarks display (when I pull down "bookmarks") is much too wide. I can't figure out how to reduce the display size. The window is not persistent so I can't even get you a screen shot.
    Thanks, Sara

    It seems there was a change in Firefox 4 where the width of the drop-down is now determined by the length the longest bookmark name in the folder being displayed. Previous versions of Firefox would shorten a long name like that and add an ellipsis to signify the name was truncated.
    Sorry, I don't know how to change that other than to advise you to edit the name of that long bookmark name and make it less verbose. Just scroll down the list of bookmarks in that wide folder until you see the culprit, then right-click that bookmark and open Properties & edit the Name line at the top of that dialog.

  • The new 5.0.1 version does not open new pages in new tabs when the feature is checked in options\tabs. How do I fix it?

    When I check the feature in Tools\Options\Tab
    "Open new windows in a new tab instead" it does not do so. New windows are launched in the existing tab.

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    * Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
    * Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    * Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
    * Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)
    There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
