How do you access the BIOS in a Toshiba laptop?

[PushHands]

There has to be a standard key that Toshiba uses to allow you to access the bios on laptop. Ideas?

I also read off of Microsoft's website that the minimum ram for XP is 64mb. Will XP allow you to go ahead and install if you have 32mb?

Hold down the F1 key while you power on the laptop. You should get a key press error and a message saying Hit F1 to enter setup.

hmm.. that didn't work. Just made beeping sounds until the OS loaded.

That was it! Thanks to DeschutesCore to suggesting that I hold down the key, as opposed to striking it repeatedly, which I did with no no success.

Thanks guys!
