Dell Dimension 3000 Bios
« on: October 14, 2005, 12:59:13 PM »
Hi,

I want to do a clean installation of Windows 2000 Pro on my Dell Dimension 3000 PC. But I can't get to the BIOS. I tried the usuall keys, Esc and Del, Does anyone
know how to get into the BIOS on this computer?
(I call Dell but they weren't being helpful at all.)

Thanks in advance.

Press F2 when you see the Dell logo, before Windows loads.  There you go.

Actually I am. I thought on most PCs, Esc and Del are the most common key to get to the BIOS. Is F2 common as well? What other keys are there? It seems every PC maker has it's own key.

F1 for IBM, F10 for Compaq, F2 for Dell, but they should all give the key combo as they try to boot.
