Tony Erikson Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Maybe f12, depends on the machine. Usually they boot from CD automatically. You may have to google that with your machine type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't have helped in this case as he wasn't using Windows software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaxiBaz Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 The lappy I refered to earlier let me F1? to Bios and change the BOOT sequence settings. It wouldn't let me in on 'Safe Mode' etc, or BOOT from CD/DVD Admin access required ! That's the only way I saved it. Change Boot Sequence and reinstalled the OS.

Resetting the BIOS would have been easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
