I want to install Linux on my Asus Eee but cannot access the BIOS setup screen.

All I get is the windows boot control screen.

I am a new member who would greatly appreciate help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Generally, F2 works. But if it doesn't, then try all function keys, ESC and DEL as well. If nothing works, try Fn + "the function key".

If it still does not work, please tell us which Windows it is.

Hi & welcome... What specific model? (what web-search 'keywords' did you try?)

Best wishes! Looking forward to hearing how it goes.
