If you are using a USB keyboard, try a PS/2 one for this process.

If you have a floppy drive, be sure it's empty.

It will let me change the bios when i go to the advanced bios menu. But when i go to the boot menu i cant do anything

[Elvandil]

OK. Can you change the boot order in BIOS?

What does the other boot menu say?
