Hello,

I have a Asus K7V-T with latest beta BIOS. Sometime ago I accidently hit a key during the POST screen of the Award Medallion BIOS v6.0. Then a screen appeared where I could select the Boot device for the next startup. Now I need this function but I cannot figure out which key it was. Can somebody please help me.

THX.

Greets, Lawa2000.

The common key for this is F2

F12 is another, or you could just alter the boot order in the BIOS.

Right today, I accidentally hit the ESC key while booting an Award 6.0 BIOS and I got the menu you're talking about.

I got it :D !!! Its the F12 Key, but it only works after a cold boot. If you reboot with Ctrl+Alt+Del it does NOT work for me. You have to press the reset button or turn off and on again the PC to make it work. Maybe someone can proof this.
