mara- Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Try with F5. Maybe your F8 button is damaged. Test it in Windows to see if it's working.Cheers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanjoa Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Buy a new keyboard :rofl: :lol: :lmao: .... Be careful where you press F8, because, in some computers, you got the boot menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magiddo Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 When you see Windows booting up, press restart button or cut the power. When you start the machine again you will get boot options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 That is actually bad advice as you can corrupt the files which may in turn cause you to have to repair the system to get back where you started... IF it repairs... which is at a higher rate than it has ever been... in Windows 7 .. for that sort of recovery.. but just saying you can cause yourself a ton of problems.. Really start at the BIOS screen pressing F8.. all the way through.. if you have Password Protection.. enter the Pass.. then, finger over the F8.. Press Enter and then hammering F8... should get you there.. UNLESS a Loader or something is giving you something else.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambrocious Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Try the sfc /scannow command In Start > Run (if windows 7 it's the search bar)Once it scans, if there is something broken in your software, this should fix it then you can try your F8 once it's done. Not sure if it's gonna work but it's worth a shot. You MIGHT need to put your windows 7 disk in when using the sfc /scannow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxhedroom Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Glad you got it sorted....as mentioned above and on my Asus mobo, the F8 key also brings up the boot menu...stupid choice of keys imo. To boot to safe mode, you have to hit F8 just after it recognizes the devices...press too early and you get the boot menu and press too late you get a normal boot. :wut: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henz Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 if you encounter same problem later time, check the safemode registry key.missing those key will make un_boot_able into safe mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I believe this is actually caused by a 'Boot Loader' issue.. may have been fixed.. I am not for sure however... Noticed this with a few 'systems'.. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudboy Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 For anyone with issues, try hitting the spacebar continually during boot until the options come up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
