Laptops Access Bios Settings Key

Press DEL to get to your bios options then disable fast boot. This will allow you to hit the appropriate key to enter the boot menu.

First try removing all four AAA batteries and the small lithium backup battery (above the four AAA batteries). Leave all batteries out for five minutes, then replace them and try to start the calculator. If this doesn't work...

Replace all but 1 AAA battery. Press and hold the "CLEAR" button on the calculator. While holding the "CLEAR" button down, replace the missing AAA battery. While still holding the "CLEAR" button, turn the calculator on. The display should read "RAM Cleared". Release the "CLEAR" button and press again to remove the message.

If that doesn't work, remove 1 AAA battery again. Repeat the preceding instructions with the "DEL" key: With the battery removed, press and hold the "DEL" key. With the "DEL" key held down, replace the battery and turn the calculator on. The screen should say "Waiting... Please install calculator software now." Release the "DEL" key. Download this program onto your computer (from Texas Instruments). Connect the calculator to the computer using the USB cable provided with purchase. Run the TI OSDownloader program and follow the on-screen instructions to re-install the calculator's operating system.

for most desktops the key to press is del ...but it has to be pressed on boot when it shows your devices ....so ...just power it up ...and keep pressing del rhythmical to be sure that you do not miss it ...anyway after a few boots you will see cause it is written on screen press del to enter setup ...if there is another key set to do the job it will specify which one...
for some laptops you have to press F 2but I dont think this is the case...
if helpful ..please dont forget to rate ... Have a nice day !

it means press ctrl+alt+delet at the same time and then you can turn of things from there

Try one of these keys:
F1,F2 or DEL keys at the point of you booking your system up. not at the same time, try f1 first, than F2, and than DEL. that should recover your BIO setup screen.

----Windows XP users Insert the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer. When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key. Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the "R" key to repair Windows. Log into your Windows installation by pressing the "1" key and pressing enter. You will then be prompted for your administrator password, enter that password. Copy the below two files to the root directory of the primary hard disk. In the below example we are copying these files from the CD-ROM drive letter, which in this case is "e." This letter may be different on your computer.
copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\ copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\
Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot.

You may need to access your system's setup. Usually by pressing a certain key during power up. Sometimes it's the DEL key, sometimes it's an "F" key. In the setup you need to tell the PC to boot up on that drive first, then save the setup. You neglected to say if your boot disc is floppy ot CD, but that drive must be bootable in the setup.

Hope that helps...
