How to use your Rescue CD or USB key
Step 1 – Boot the BIOS on your computer
A. Get ready to act quickly: You need to start the computer and press a key on the keyboard before the BIOS hands over control to Windows. You have only a few seconds to perform this step.
B. Boot (or restart) the PC: Pay close attention to the first screen that appears. Look for a message that indicates which key you need to press in order to access the BIOS. That key is likely to be:
- -- A Function key (such as F1, F2, or F3)
- -- The Esc key
- -- The Delete key
On this PC, you'd press F2 to enter the BIOS setup menu.
On some PCs, entering the BIOS may require pressing another key or a combination of keys. Keep your eyes open for an on-screen message that says something like:
- --'Press F1 to enter setup'
- --'BIOS settings: Esc'
- --'Setup = Del'
- --'System configuration: F2'
If you don't catch it the first time, simply try again. Your computer's documentation may also tell you which key to press.
C. When you know the right key, start the computer again and press the key when the first screen pops up: You may hear a confirmation beep or see a new message. If you timed it correctly, you'll be in the BIOS within a few seconds.
Step 2 – Change the Boot Sequence of your computer
Once BIOS is booted, you would see the following screen:
