575414 2007-08-02 02:15:00 I am having a problem trying to get int safe mode. On my old pc I could just push F8 at startup. On my new pc, this brings up a disk boot menu and not the option for safe mode.

I have an Asus M2N-SLI Delux motherboard. The user guide has no info in it.

Any help is appreciated.

575415 2007-08-02 02:19:00 Your pushing 'F8' to early? Try leaving it until just after the post screen. wratterus (105)

I have an Asus M2N-SLI Delux motherboard .

All ASUS boards do that .

Just hold the F8 down . select HDD at this prompt and the next menu will be your Safe Mode .

Then select the hdd, then hold F8 down again to get the menu for safe mode.

Otherwise, it'll boot into Windows.
