ibm tHINKPAD 385 d AND bios ????
How do I get to the BIOS at startup? DEL does not work and I tried various F
keys without success so far.

I finally figured out that F1 brings me to BIOS. But changing the Start-up
to start with the CD-ROM which holds the WIN98SE on it, does not get there. It goes through POST and then stops at a blinking cursor. Nothing else. The WIN98SE CD does not start up.

I think that bootable CDs started with WinME. "Karl" wrote in message ... How do I get to the BIOS at startup? DEL does not work and I tried various F keys without success so far.

It does come to a point before where it asks whether I want to boot from the
Harddrive or CDROM. I select CDROM and then I only get that cursor blinking. Taking CD out and putting it in again, shows the light that the CD is initially working, but then the light goes out on the CD drive and Blinking Cursor only. "YK" wrote in message le.rogers.com...
