T60, access BIOS

#1 Post by furrycute » Sat Sep 15, 2007 7:04 pm

This maybe a stupid question, but I can't figure out how to access the BIOS on startup. The Thinkvantage key just takes me to the Rescue and Recovery thing. Which key should I press to get into BIOS?

Thanks for the help.

F1.

In Rescue and Recovery there is also an option to access the BIOS. Select Start setup utility to open the BIOS Setup Utility / Access BIOS in older machines / version of R n R.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Another question, if I want to boot into safe mode, which key should I press on startup?

F8 after Thinkpad logo and before Microsoft Windows screen, in between them.

I added more info. in my previous post as well.
