I'm wanting to install a new internal HD. I need to enter CMOS/BIOS to
check some settings. When I boot, my options screen lasts only 2-3 seconds.
I did see that DEL and ALT+F2 are options. Del took me to a dialog to
select a boot-up device. Alt=F2 took me to Flash Bios.

My motherboard is ASUS P4BGL-VM. I'm running Win XP Home SP2 fully patched.

How can I get to BIOS/CMOS?

Click to expand...

Section 4.2 of the downloadable manual, says to press "delete" early in the POST,
to enter the BIOS.

Thank you both so much! I never thought to press DELETE and keep it
pressed. I'll give that a try. You guys are wonderful. :-)
