BIOS boot

[Geo]

How do I get to the BIOS during boot up using Windows 2000
Pro?

 

[Robert Moir]

sometimes you
have to wave a chicken foot over the keyboard and chant voodoo
curses.

I *told* you not to order those cheap "kompac" computers from ebay. I TOLD
you there was a reason they were that cheap...

But it was a bargain! And FlyByNite Enterprises gave me a 100-year warranty.

Oh, I saw a big industrial-sized tub of MCSE certs at Costco. Now you're
going to go and tell me it isn't a good buy, aren't you....

That depends if I can borrow some or not. I'm fresh out.

I'd rather it stay a frog and not a BIOS guru (errrr prince), thank you very
much <g>

Did you kiss it?

I like the voodoo BIOS boards personally.

It's got an excellent password feature. I found out someone was a
"pro" at cracking BIOS passwords so I told him to try my new
Kompac....anyway I'm not sure what happened to him or if he ever came
by, but when I came home there was a new pet frog sitting next to my
computer

MCSE frequently leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Usually the boot-camp
variety.

Got a funky odor...I wouldn't put that in my mouth...

You might want to see a doctor...

Ah, but neither you or I paid an insane amount of money for a weekend of
rote memorization....at least, I can say as much for myself, and suspect the
same of you.

I got my MVP award because I have no life and spend an awful lot of time in
the NGs! <sniffles>

Agreed.

Wait a second -- is MVP an allowed set of letter?


"Lanwench [MVP - Exchange]"

I've just seen far too many insanely ignorant questions from people
posting with a buncha initials in their sigs.

Greetings --

The operating system is immaterial. Only you know what
motherboard and BIOS you have, so only you know the answer to your
question. ;-}

In the extremely unlikely event that your PC's manual doesn't
contain the needed information, try one or both of the following:
