Zoyx Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) I blew away AtariOS and installed Win 11 Pro. Now I can't get into the BIOS. Hitting the ESC key doesn't work, although it briefly tells me that I hit the key. Del key doesn't do it. Also booting the system using a USB drive doesn't work. Anything else I can try?

suspicious_milk Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) "booting the system using a USB drive" ... I'm assuming you're talking about the recovery image burned to a USB thumb drive? If not - - try that. Seems an odd problem for sure. some older archived images https://archive.org/download/atari-vcs-2020-recovery-image rEFInd boot image, may be worth a shot https://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files/0.12.0/refind-flashdrive-0.12.0.zip/download the official https://docs.google.com/document/d/17TeJMIZcLIsGMJEHlQAxOb_YdIuX4GoL4bvBExAudWU/edit#heading=h.2yj2qmj1e9go I think when I booted with a Linux Mint installer, it gave a "firmware" option in it's default GRUB menu (if nothing else works).

Zoyx Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 I've used the windows USB fob that I used to install Windows, won't boot to that anymore. I also have a USB drive with refind on it. Also no worky. I haven't tried an AtariOS recovery USB yet. Not interested in AtariOS but may try it to see if anything will work. Not holding my breathe.

suspicious_milk Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 A quick google search revealed that some have had the same issue when using a keyboard plugged into the front USB (but worked fine when plugged into the rear). Worth a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 Windows took over access to the bios. I followed method #2 on this page and it worked. https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/tech-takes/how-to-enter-bios-setup-windows-pcs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
