Qosmio X70-A-K2S - How do I get to the BIOS menu?

Hello!
I have a laptop Qosmio X70-A-K2S.
I want to replace one of the hard drives on the SSD.
How do I get to the BIOS menu?
Recommendations from the user manual (reboot and release F2 for 1 sec.) do not help.
I can not get any BIOS menu or BOOT menu.
But easily fall into the recovery menu by pressing the 0.

>Recommendations from the user manual (reboot and release F2 for 1 sec.) do not help
Sure this is right is Win 8 preinstalled?
Probably this is the reason why you cannot access the BIOS.
The Windows 8 does not shut down the notebook by default but it perform hybrid shut down.
This allows to boot the notebook much faster but as I said, it prevents accessing the BIOS.
Take a look here how to perform shut down on Windows 8 preinstalled notebook:

Sooo... How do I get into the bios setup?

Now before you get out the pitchforks and torches, I know I'm supposed to continually press or hold a certain Function key when I first power on a computer.
My cousin left me his old Pavilion a410e. I figured I'd set it up for when family or friends needed to use a computer. Well... when I got everything together and started it up, I got an error. "CPU Fan Failure". (Now you see why my cousin gave the computer to me.) I popped open the case and saw the fan spin up fine when powering the computer. The fan's power connecter and the heatsink/fan are all properly in place. I tried to google for a solution, and came across suggestions to turn off the fan check through bios. The computer came into my hands with the 3.06 bios, and while in that bios menu, the cpu fan options were greyed out (unchangeable). I thought maybe a bios update would change that, so I went ahead and downloaded/installed the 3.10 bios update from HP. It installed fine (I guess), but now I can't get into the bios menu, no matter which key I press. Windows boots up fine, so long as I bypass the CPU fan failure warning by pressing F2. I'd really like to kill that warning. How do I get into the bios menu now, guys?

You may be able to go back to an older bios revision. . . some computers let you and others do not. I don't have experience with this particular model to know for sure.
I wouldn't mind trying. I'm not sure where I'd find older bios updates, tho. HP doesn't seem to archive their bioses on the site.

In windows, what bios version does it report? -- you said you were able to boot into windows.
I'm...not sure what you mean, but if you're asking me which bios version I have installed currently, it's: 3.10. For Pavilion a410e.

Ihis may sound stuipid but have u tried hitting the ESC key to enter BIOS?
ESC takes me to the "Boot Menu", which works, oddly... The boot screen says to press F1 to get into the bios setup, but it just won't work.

How do you get into the BIOS on a Satellite 320 CDS.

Hi my name is steve I was wondering how do you get into the BIOS on a satellite 320 CDS. As this is my first format on a lap top. Done plenty on desktop computers just never laptops. As some fool tried to do it before me and distroyed it. Now the only thing that happens is after the toshiba logo disappears this message comes up, INVALID SYSTEM DISK, REPLACE THE DISK AND THEN PRESS ANY KEY. It use to run Windows 98 and it worked great for how old it is. Was hoping to put XP on it but its only got a small hard drive (4099mb). So will have to put 98 back on it till I get a bigger hard drive.Only need it to teach my daughter how to respect a laptop. I mainly want to get into the BIOS for format. Any instruction on how to get into the BIOS would be great, as I'm good from there. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,
I don't know the exact method for the Satellite 320 CDS.
But most of the Toshiba notebooks use one of the following methods.
If you see a message while booting "Press F2 to enter setup", do it and you get into BIOS.
Or you have to press ESC while booting, then press F1 when prompted to and you are in the BIOS.
Bye

In your printer settings, do you have WIRELESS SETUP or WIRELESS SETUP WIZARD?
The SSID is the name of your network. When the printer searches for a network, it finds your SSID, and you choose it.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Rob, welcome to the forum.
During boot you should continually tap the Esc key to enter the BIOS. I am not certain that you will find Hyper-V as an option in the BIOS. Most of HP's BIOS'es are kept very simple with only the necessary settings.

When I go to Apple TV menu and click on Settings, nothing happens. How do I get into the settings menu?

Hi, I can't get past the setup stage with my Apple TV box. It takes forever trying to set the date and time and never seems to achieve this. When I select menu and then select Settings, nothing whatsoever happens. If I can't access the Settings menu, then clearly I can't set the network and password. Can anyone tell me how to get into the Settings menu please? Thanks

Honestly, I have never heard of this issue. The only thing that i can recommend is obtaining a Micro-USB cord and restoring the device. That's probably your only way out of this.

If you want to install an OS such as Snow Leopard or earlier, you will need to get the installation disk, insert it in the DVD drive and press the C key when starting the MBP.
Note that if you use Disk Utility>Erase, you will erase all user data from the HDD.

How do you get to the ichat menu? I am a brand new mac user

So I accidently put the wrong user name when I was setting up ichat and I want to go back and change it with an AIM account, but I can't seem to figure out how to get into the menu of iChat. Just got the computer last night

Hi,
This first (From Defcom)
Click on iChat in the dock at the bottom of your desktop first.
This will either bring iChat to the Front or launch iChat is it is not open.
Then you should be able to do irvine91's stuff
Open iChat > In the Menu bar along the top of the screen click on iChat and then Preferences > Select the accounts tab and then you can use the plus and minus icons to add and remove new accounts.
Removing the incorrect one and adding a new Account with the correct info is probably easier than trying to edit the existing one that is set up at the moment.
IF the Existing one has Buddies added set up the new one then Select all the Buddies in the Current Buddy List and drag them to the new Buddy list.
Then you can delete the first one you set up (that is incorrect).
Presumably if you put in incorrect details it is not even able to Log-in and have not been able to add Buddies.

In Firefox 4, how do I get back the context menu for the drop down list of the Location Bar so I can Open Link in New Tab, which I did often in FF 3?

Firefox 3 has a context menu for the drop down list of
the Location Bar. One option on this menu I used often
is "Open Link in New Tab" -- quite convenient.
This context menu has disappeared in Firefox 4.
Can I get it back?

The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />

How can I get into the options menu without clicking?

I installed the Fx4 theme, and removed both the menu bar and the App button. As a result, I can't seem to find any way to access the File, View, or Tools menus. I googled for a list of keyboard shortcuts, but there doesn't seem to be one for any of these options (and no, pressing Alt does not unhide the menu bar, as it does in some other things).
Do I need to reinstall?

Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; U; en) Presto/2.5.29 Version/10.60

Unfortunately, that doesn't work. I can't get into safe mode -- there's no Mozilla Firefox folder in All Programs, and running "firefox -safe-mode" from the Start Search just starts up regular Firefox.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit, using Firefox 3.6.4.

How do I get to the startup menu. I have 6 apps start when I power on that I want to turn off.

I want to turn off some of the apps when my system starts up. There are about 6 apps, programs, that start and it takes too long for the mac to get going.

Two possibilities: Open System Preferences, select Users & Groups, and right above your user picture you'll see buttons for Password and Login Items. Select Login Items. In the window pane you'll see a list of items that are selected for startup at login. Select an item you don't want and click on the minus button at the bottom of the pane.
If any (or all) of the programs that are starting up don't appear in this list it means that these programs were running when you shut the computer down. In Lion, by defaul, any program running when the computer is shut down will automatically restart. There's a dialog box that appears when you select logout or restart which allows you to cancel this for that logout only. In other words, you much click the checkmark each time you logout/quit. I don't shutdown often and have an SSD so this behavior doesn't annoy me much, except at work where i don't have an SSD and I do shut down more often.

Hi there,
In the newer versions of iTunes for Windows the menu is hidden. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for instrucions on how to re-enable them.
