I cannot get to the boot options. (Keyboard works perfectly on other computers) When I start up Win7 the menu to get to the Boot Option Menu is visible for a few tenths of a second, restart with Shift-key pressed solves this problem. But then, no matter how often, how long the F2 or F11 key is pressed, the computers always simply boots into Win 7. Is the problem the hardware, an ASRock 85M? The Bios? Is there another way to access? (I also find no software to test the motherboard's functioning on the net) Everything else works perfctly fine... Thanks
You mean to check if your current installation is GPT (UEFI) or MBR (legacy)? You can view this information with diskpart Open an elevated command prompt and type Code: diskpart list disk Locate your windows systemdrive by its size The row at the very right (GPT) should have an asterisk, if not it's legacy (MBR)
.....has it occurred to you that I did that? And that the manual does NOT answer the question how to get into the BIOS whenthe F keys fail to work. Or... as Enthousiast has written before: If you don't have an answer, don't answer....
Page 77 : "4.4.6 Super IO Configuration Serial Port Enable or disable the Serial port. Serial Port Address Select the address of the Serial port. Infrared Port Enable or disable the Infrared port. Parallel Port Enable or disable the Parallel port. Change Settings Select the address of the Parallel port. Device Mode Select the device mode according to your connected device." THAT IS ALL THERE IS ON PAGE 77! Point 4.7 Boot Screen is on Page 86... So here is for you RTFQ: Try reading THAT question: I CANNOT GET TO THE BOOTMENU OR BIOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have experienced problems with PS/2 keyboards not being recognized by the BIOS. Notably from PS/2 keyboards plugged into PS/2 to USB adapters. If you have a USB keyboard, you might try booting with that and see if the BIOS recognizes it.
