Subject: [JAWS-Users] Alternative way of booting into a computer's BIOS
Hi Folks,
I just got a new laptop, and in my haste to attain the fastest laptop known
to man, I installed a solid state drive in place of the 5400 rpm drive that
was originally installed.
So, with that in mind, I did manage to attain the speeds I was looking for,
but at a cost, for you see, like most laptops today, the manufacturer has
switched the function key settings to their alternate functions, which
wouldn’t normally be a problem, as I could simply go into the BIOS settings
and change the settings around, however, the boot up time with a solid state
drive is practically non-existent. In fact, if I didn’t know better, I’d
swear the computer simply went to sleep instead of shutting all the way
down. It literally takes about two or three seconds for the boot up process
to finish, and so I don’t have enough time to boot into the BIOS setup
screen to make the change.
My question then, is if there’s a way to boot into the BIOS instead of
having to press the setup keystroke.
For those who don’t know what the heck I’m talking about...
When you turn on a computer, any computer, pressing a keystroke before
Windows loads will get you into the motherboard settings which will control
your computer from under the hood, so to speak.
Well, with the speed of the boot up, I don’t have time to go into the
settings using the traditional methods, and so I need an alternative way to
do this.
I’m using Jaws 15, latest build, Windows 8.1 and an HP Envy laptop.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Scorpio
