Hi,

Just want to know is there a way to select boot hard disks during startup
instead of go into the BIOS to change it each time.

My old ASUS M/B allow me to press ESC during bootup and will show up a menu
to allow me to select.

Please advise
Thanks

Run a boot manager. Sounds like that's what you were doing with your old
Asus board.

Regards,

Margaret

That's not the case actually is supported by the BIOS like most of the
Toshiba notebook you can press F12 (I think) you can select boot devices
(hard disk, floppy, CDROM, etc.)

I am missing that feature, too.
AMI use that feature in their BIOSes, but AWARD lacks it as it seems.

I don't think it has a patent because a lot of notebook, some brand name
machine also have this feature.

I think just depend on what brand name of BIOS they use.
