I have a dell dimension 2400 xp. i can't get it to boot in safe mode or bios. when i press f2, f8, or f12 at boot up, it just hangs there. it will boot up to Windows fine without pressing those options. thanks!
The key to access the bios (F2, F10, del or whatever) is used long before the operating system comes into play - in fact, you don't need an operating system or even a hard drive for that to work. If you can't access the bios it has nothing to do with boot.ini.
"The F Lock key on the Microsoft Keyboards is a relatively new concept facility for Microsoft Keyboards. Introduced with the Office Keyboard and used in later keyboards, it essentially allows keys to do more than one operation. The F Lock key, depending on its state, will allow either a function key's "normal" operation or a new "enhanced" operation. The initial state of the F Lock key is "off", and in this state, the function keys use their "enhanced" operation".
