    Wait! Do not format your computer.
    Please give the name and model of your computer.
    Does your PC have Windows 8 on it?
    Do you already have Linux installe3d?

    I ask because there are concerns about putting Linux onto a new computer with Windows 8 installed by the manufacture. You need to make  a backup and recovery method before you install Linux. Otherwise, Linux may destroy the Windows 8 system.

    Here is an article anybody should read:
    Install Ubuntu 14.04 alongside Windows 8.1 in 10 easy steps
    Keep your Windows 8 system. There is enough space on the drive for both.

    Why do you need to get into the BIOS anyways ? ?
    I don't think F12 is the command for it...

      I used f12 when saving word document. F2 is the right key in BIOS.
