After many reboots and LOTS of searching figured out how to get in by clearing bios.
Do a hard restart – power off, remove batter then re-insert battery and plug power cable back in
Upon pressing the power up button Hold Fn+F11 to ‘reset’ the bios.
This will allow you to then enter the bios and make adjustments as necessary.
I just needed to be able to boot from the ‘multi-drive’ to get into my diag cd tools.
Few things are more aggravating than not being able to change boot orders or hdd configs.<\/p>\n
Dell’s are notorious for this too. Their usual method to enter the bios is F2. But doesn’t always work.
And the response I often get from the Dell support guys when I have problems getting into their bios is, “well I guess you just can’t configure that on the model system”
What kinda crap is that?
Well anyways hope some of this helps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
