    Hi!

    Does anyone know how to get into the BIOS on a toshiba satellite laptop? I've tried F2, F8, F10 & del keys at bootup but it just seems to go straight from 'Toshiba screen' to Win XP startup no matter what I do! It's driving me nuts :confused: (I want to boot from a CD).
    Thanks,
    Brian

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro - bit older than yours I think - I have to hold f2 to get the boot order menu then select C to boot from a CD. Press F2 as soon as you see the Toshiba screen.

    Excellent! Even better again because XP seemed to ignore when I changed the boot priority in the BIOS. But it worked using that menu alright.
    Cheers ZEN..

    I'll kill this computer yet!
    ;)
