How do you access the Gateway BIOS?

How do you access the Gateway BIOS? All I get is the standard Gateway startup screen with no option to enter the bios. Thanks in advance!

I ran into this before when I did some work on a friends' machine, just unplug the hard drive, the bios won't find it, and prompt you to enter the bios, that was the only way I could do it. Hope this helps.

the problem is that I need to setup a new slave drive so I dont think that will work for me. Thanks anyway! Its a shame they make it so hard to work on YOUR computer!

I think that you hit the tab key while the Gateway logo is present and then you press the delete or f1 key. Not too sure about this!!

delete, F10, F1 or Cntrl+Alt+Escape (for some older systems) are the most common types of keys to press to get in to the BIOS...just make sure you press them before it finishes the POST...and don't hit them too many times per boot.

The BIOS entry time in newer gateway machines goes by faster than the your monitor can turn on, so as soon as you turn on yuour computer hit F1 or delete (dont remember which)
