    Dell XPS 8930 Boots straight into Windows!


    This is the second XPS that Dell sent me that has this problem I believe the BIOS comes up after tapping F2 but you can't see it!. The only way around it is to remove the secondary graphics card and boot from the onboard video card to get to the BIOS or Safe Mode etc. You cannot get to the BIOS through the troubleshooting mode either... unless the secondary card is pulled...even if you are using the onboard card.
    DELL has been no use in resolving this They have replaced the secondary card (Nvidia 1050) 3 times and the Motherboard as well. Hopefully, someone on this forum can.figure this out.
    Thanks

    :)

    Windows XP no boot

    I have a no boot issue in windows XP. It just keeps giving me the "no boot device" or something similar. It will boot from the Windows XP Home disk without any issues. I have tried replacing the boot.ini, fixmbr, and fixboot. None of these have worked. I even went so far as to doing the repair by installing Windows XP Home. When it rebooted it still gave me the same reading.

    I can get it to boot from a Paragon Rescue disk though. I am at a loss on this one. My next step is to run a boot virus check I suppose, as this system had over 300 trojans, virus' and malware.

    This is a friends computer that has a bunch of his work related documents so I don't want to reformat or anything unless it has to.
