My dad has a Toshiba Satellite 4080XCDT. I can't seem to find a way to access the bios on this computer. Is there some trick to it? I have tried F2 and the Delete button, can't find a way to get in. Am I missing something??? Did searches of the database, for some reason I can't get the search function to work.

Thanks all,

JonYou can access the BIOS settings on these MODELS using any one of these 3 methods.

From the Windows Control Panel, launch the Toshiba HWSetup program. HWSetup provides a user-friendly graphical frontend for modifying BIOS settings. Please note that if you change some settings, you may be required to restart your computer. HWSetup comes preinstalled on your Toshiba portable PC, or it can be downloaded as part of the Toshiba Utilities package for your model.

PRESS the [Esc] key while the system processes its Power On Self Test (POST). In order to use this method, the computer must be "off", meaning not in sleep/suspend or HIBERNATE mode. Press the power button, then immediately press the [Esc] key (it doesn't hurt to hold the key down). When the POST finishes, you'll be prompted to press the F1 key to enter BIOS setup. Press the [F1] key to access the BIOS setup program.

From MS-DOS, run the TSETUP program. TSETUP must be run under real mode DOS (not a Windows-based MS-DOS prompt) with no memory manager (like HIMEM.SYS, QEMM386, or equivalent) installed. TSETUP was provided originally with your computer, or you can download it from Toshiba's Website
