accessing bios

[david eaton]

Can anyone tell me how to access the bios settings on a "Tiny" computer. I have a problem with one, and am unable to alter the boot sequence to allow booting from a floppy. I've tried all the usual key/s but the**&(^ thing still tries to boot direct into windows.

Hi david and welcome,
Usually you hit DEL.
When you boot up check the screen it should tell you what key to hit.
If not try

Hi David,

It's F2 for the Pheonix BIOS. LINK (http://www.tiny.com/us/documents.asp?status=display&tdid=TDHBU0006)

And Delete for the Award BIOS. LINK (http://www.tiny.com/us/documents.asp?status=display&tdid=TDHBU0005)

Hope it helps. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

Thanks for the reply. No info is displayed on screen tho! Only the tiny logo and then windows. Damifino how the bios is hidden. The only other thing that occurs to me is to discharge the cmos by removing the battery, but I was hoping someone would have come across this problem and knew the answer.

Hi again.
Sorry for the delay in answering, but the computer in question belonged to a "friend" who promptly went away! I have been able to have another go at it, and thanks to the suggestions posted here I finally managed to access the bios. The actual method turned out to be CTRL-ALT-INSERT Who'd a thunk it? Thanks again all
