Each laptop is different. I have one that is like Award and AMI . . . you hit DEL during the POST. A new Gateway requires F2. It usually tells you on screen what to hit at the POST. I don't know about Toshiba, but I would first check the manual and then the web site and maybe do the manual as a PDF file.

Have you tried pressing Delete while the memory is counting? If you have tried that already, try ctrl-alt-esc. That used to work on some of the really wierd bioses back in the old days :)

Try to keep pushing Escape until it says something like Check System...then press F1 to Continue into the bios.

On my Dell Latitude I have to press function+F1. I can do it at any time, even when in Windows. :)
