how to entry bios lenovo pc.

Hello,

Press F1 immediately after powering on the computer.

Older IBM computers (including some laptops) may utilize the F2 key for BIOS entry.

Alternately, if these don't work, Delete is a very common key to enter BIOS for many computers.

Lenovo- dont know model, has preinstalled XP on hidden parition, what is the function key to reload operating system?

Turn off the notebook. If yours is an Ideapad or 3000 series, press the Novo button. If you're on Thinkpad, I think it's called the ThinkVantage button... basically, it's the button that works (when Windows is on) to change the power scheme (in Ideapad) or to access one-button solution (in ThinkPad).
