F10 is the standard button to use when accessing the BIOS.
f10 used to work on my machine with the default (win98) operating system. doesn't work for any more, since I deleted that small primary diagnostics partition or whatever that was.
machine works fine, just the bios seems unacessable..

So the question is - Have you recently formatted the hard drive? Installed another OS?

um yeah as the diagnostic partition has been wiped out you need to reinstall the info.
