Help / Vista / F2 key / Re-install Win.

[NeoFreak]

My Esc + F1 + f2 key is dead and has been for a while. I have been using Hotkey In windows to re-map these keys.

Well I am trying to Re-install Vista But I need to Push F2 to get into the Bios/System setup so that i can Set it to Read the Vista CD first be4 the Harddrive..

Is there ANYWAY to re-map the f2 key During system boot up?
Maybe another way of getting into Bios/System setup?
Or anyway to set the system to read cd be4 HDD while in Windows?
Or any other way?

If u Need any Extra Information let me Know..

So there is just no way to change it to boot from CD be4 it boots from HD.
Or any alternative way to Get to the Bios?
Re-Map the keys on Boot up?

There is just nothing that can be Done??? :mad:

Is there a FDD connected and functional?
If so, does the FDD boot before the HDD?

What kind of keyboard connection? USB or PS/2?

What kind of keyboard connection? USB or PS/2?
On a laptop? How 'bout neither.

Neofreak,
My guess would be to look for a replacement keyboard if the notebook is no longer under warranty. If it is, send it back for repair or replacement with a properly obtained RMA.
