  It's really good that you posted this question. So far on this forum many people ask the same questions, but all have been at the origin of new machines of Win8.
  Now we have the situation with the old machine Win7 but with Win8 preinstalled.

  Solution for other people needed to proceed to a complete stop and after doing this, it was possible to enter the BIOS settings. Check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm

  When you start your laptop, I guess you can see the Toshiba start screen. With F2 option is shown on the bottom of the screen?

  Hello

  I just bought a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L50T-A196 and it worked very well and the great until recently.

  I tried to reformat my computer because it got crashed.
  I was able to reformat my computer very well in previous years.
  So far, I've reformatted my laptop more than 5 times, but that it was like 1 year ago and now I really don't know how I got into the BIOS menu.

  I tried pressing F1 to F12, holding them and also repeatedly pressing it.
  Also tried pressing F2 and F12 or ESC + F12 F2 before even looking at computer and then turn it also I tried pressing 0 too and also ESC and the ~ button.

  Nothing seems to work.
  So my question is how to enter the bios?
  I used to be able to get, but now I don't know what happened

  Help, please!

  _Firstly! _
  You need to perform a full stop down.
  Here's a HowTo:

  The fact is that Win 8 keeps the laptop but the unit carries out hybrid stop start up more quickly. Unit should be stopped in order to access the BIOS.

  After the unit is OFF, turn on again and press F2.
  Now you should be able to access the BIOS

• Product: HP Pavilion Notebook-PC G7, cannot access the bios settings/turn off the keys f1 - f12, please help!

  I got this laptop PC in 2012, it is a series of G7, I'm pretty sure. My problem is that when I turn the computer off and turn it back on, there is no option to open the menu of the bios (esc) or any option besides. Just a symble blue HP directly in the middle of the screen with a symbol of little loading below him. I pressed ESC, f1 - f10 and virtually all other keys to try to access it. What I really want to do is to disable most annoying f1 - f12 function keys.

  I'm no longer under warranty and my operating system is Windows 8.  There is also no error at all, just no response what that's right don't charge up to login password screen.

  Please help and contribution is appreciated.

  Hi 2livewire4,

  Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  I see that you are looking to access the BIOS of your laptop Pavilion. You can't access BIOS in the same way on Windows 8, because you have a faction of a second to get the right timing because of the quick loading of Windows 8 feature. This third party link will show you how to access the UEFI that will lead to the BIOS. You can also do it from the Windows 8 login screen as this Microsoft link will show. Here is a document from HP support disable the function on some models Fn key combination +.

  Thank you

• Satellite Pro L40 does not start after changing the BIOS settings

  Changed some settings in the bios last night and now when I boot I get a screen black lights flash and hard drive lights up but nothing on the screen.

  There is no password on the bios... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

  I put a windows disc now, I hear the disc spin but nothing on the screen

  (I think that I have come to the right place on the forum)

  It s a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 model psl4be.

  Thank you

  > There was no bios password... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

  You can set the default BIOS ONLY inside the BIOS access BIOS by pressing F2 or at the beginning of the initialization of the order

  But I doubt that this problem is related to the BIOS.
  Maybe it s just a simple bad luck that this problem happened exactly after change something in the BIOS.

  Try connecting an external monitor and check if you can see something on the 2nd screen.

• Satellite U940-108 - how to configure the BIOS to boot double OS to SSD / HDD

  How can I set the BIOS to start multi os ssd and HDD?

  I want to boot from an OS SSD and other bones of the HARD drive,
  When I try to do, I've got windows error?

  Can you help me

  Hello

  I guess you want to install the operating system (which one?) on the internal mSATA SSD 32GB?
  This mSATA SSD is used for caching (hybrid boot) to start Windows faster 8.

  I recommend you to install the second operating system on the HARD drive.
  To do this you must create the new partition that could be used for the installation of the OS.

  Then boot from the Windows installation disc and install the OS 2nd on the new partition.

Ive pulled the battery, reset the CMOS button and jumped the pins CMOS won't default. To b e there is a way to fix it... Please any ideas will be appreciated.

  Hi Glenn,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  Important: Change BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  I recommend you contact the manufacturer of the PC for the procedure for making changes in the BIOS.

  Do not hesitate to write to us in case you have any problems/concerns while working on your computer, we will be happy to help you.

• Qosmio DX730 unable to access the BIOS settings

  Hope someone can help with this.

  have the PC DX730 for about 8 months now, and I remember that in the beginning when on your PC here briefly appears a message saying press "F2" to enter the BIOS Setup.
  But lately, this does not happen and I don't know why.

  Pressing F2 brings up the start of Windows instead of the BIOS Setup Menu.
  Is it possible to restore the original start feature?

  Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

  Here another thread about the installation of the SATA drivers!
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040

  You must include the * Intel Matrix Storage Manager * during the XP installation process.
  As far as I know you have to press the F6 key to include the external USB FDD drive driver.
  Once you have included the SATA driver * DON T format the drive HARD * or create all partitions because that would erase the included driver!

  Another possibility to include the SATA drivers is the use of the * software to nLite.
  By using this software, you could include the SATA driver in the new created XP CD.
  And then you could boot from the new CD.

  > no initialization of SPARCFichiers of hard disk
  > can not load hard drive
  > Insert systemdisk and press a key

  This error message appears because you didn't boot from the bootable CD and/or the operating system has not been installed on the HARD drive and the laptop I wanted to boot from the HARD drive.
