Hi, I got and old Toshiba satelitte from a relative that upgraded, and now i
wonder if it is possible to get to the bios. It is a satelitte 210CT.
I have discovered that I can change the boot sequence by pressing F10, but I
have tried all sorts of key combinations without any luck.
Anybody gurus out there who can tell me about it?

regards JoJo

Try powering it up while holding down the ESC key, if it's like my old one you
will see a message
prompting you to press F1 to enter the bios.
if not..no harm done

Hold down the escape key starting before you turn the power on and keep holding
it until you get the "Press [F1]" message

Boot the machine with the ESC key down...you should get a error message
saying to hit a key(I forget the EXACT wording) to enter CMOS...do it.

Get "tsetup.exe" from toshiba web site (if you want I can e-mail it
to you; it's only 2KB). Save it in "C:\" . Start your laptop in dos
mode and launch it: you'll get to the bios.
