| 634885 | 2008-01-28 22:12:00 | In the past I have clicked on f8 to open in safe mode,now I get........ Boot Menu Select boot 1st device removable floppy hard disc 1st master 1st slave, and so on with no mention of safe mode facility. Could I ask what is afoot ? |

For the other screen to come up, then select safe mode. It is an Asus,but all it does if I hold f8 down is vibrate,the same as the rest of the options? |

| 634889 | 2008-01-29 02:40:00 | When you hit the F8 key during the latter phase of the BIOS check, on some computers you may get a boot device menu, offering you your choice of devices to boot from, i.e. floppy disk, IDE device, CD-ROM, etc. If this happens, use the up/down arrows to select your hard drive or IDE device, press enter and then immediately press the F8 key. You will then get the Advanced Boot Menu. Note that it helps to already have a second finger over the F8 key before you press the enter key. hope that may be some help Quoted from here (209.85.173.104 +Select+boot+1st+device&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=nz) |
