Hi all well today one customer come to my house with this damn machine above and so I have one big headache I need access BIOS to configure boot from dvd for make install of Windows 7 but I already try with F2, DEL, F4 and no have luck also search in severals places and all that I find is related only for Windows 8/8.1 I see in somewhere that some Notebooks Samsumg don't have BIOS I don't believe on this also already try without HDD then Windows 7 loads normaly in meantime I put HDD again on machine (turned on of course) and used some tools that allow make use of Command prompt so I type Diskpart but for some reason keyboard seem crazy in this manner I call some member here if have some solution because I don't want open machine completely until find damn bios so thanks in advance oh my God! please
From memory when i had a samsung laptop in for repair, it was F2 to enter bios when you see the Samsung logo, but pressing the ESC key instead gave a boot menu to select USB, DVD, HDD etc. Unless they have changed it on newer models. On some from what i have read F10 brought up some recovery menu and one option was to enter Setup/Bios. Think it depends if it has UEFI bios?
Hi mxman2k I try in this moment but unfortunately doens't works but thanks for your help anyway hehe I forget to tell this machine is from year 2012 Edit: wow I make another attempt so: turn off machine wait some seconds and follow your instructions then Windows loads normaly but when I type shift+F10 to access Diskpart for some reason keyboard don't respond! but already is some advance
YAY as I always speak everyday I learn something I find solution! when I I try load Windows first time I see that O.S. was broken then I insist and put DVD with Windows again on drive open Windows Explorer click on icon DVD drive is show files on disk then right click on setup an make install over "old installation" but damn Intel Celeron CPU B800 @1,50GHZ 2 cores 2 processors is slow as hell waste a lot of time to install when finaly system is installed first thing that I make of course was use Windows Loader v2.1.2 by Daz in sequence open Windows Explorer again right click on C:\ make cleanup to remove Windows.Old more some things, after I open Computer management\Disk Management shrink system partition and after I make one new partition for storage Documents, Downloads, Musics, Pictures and Videos (because I dont have conditions to use Diskpart) more one folder named as Softwares by 3ºs to storage any files as Firefox, CDBurnerXP, VLC AV etc and concluding I open System information to see which damn BIOS is then bingo!! Phoenix Technologies LTD. 02RH 05/31/2012 so concluding is possible make install of O.S. in this situation still if I remember before to put old USB keyboard question solved
Just saying, if you're not able to see the samsung bios welcome screen or not able to access the bios, it is recommended to reset the CMOS. I have an old samsung laptop which sometimes directly boots up to OS not giving me the option to enter F2.
Hi BladeGod ok I know and already make removing battery but same so this dam machine continues! which I find more strange is when I reinstall Windows 7 again over other installation only for curiosity I restart machine and type F2 and surprise BIOS Setup open normaly in there I discover that system is maybe one first UEFI mobo's and possibly have some errors from BIOS so requires update of course but my customer stay very satisfect with my job and give me to not modify nothing I try explain that I can reinstall in correct manner using diskpart for several reasons but he don't want!! then I earn my $$ honestly but stay ge advised in time only for curiosity I restart again before customer take machine and type F2 but nothing Windows load normaly therefore I resolve stay as he want
