    What did you do in the bios yesterday, and what are you trying to do in it today?
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    Turn the machine off by holding the power button down for up to ten seconds and remove the battery for up to thirty. Replace the battery. Have the USB drive plugged in before you start the machine. Turn it on and keep your finger on the F12 key as soon as you switch on.
