How to load boot options menu in Vista?

Question

I'm trying to redo Vista on my Acer 5630 laptop, I did it before and it automatically booted from the disc, but now it won't and I don't know how to open the boot options menu. On my old laptop it was F11/F12 but it doesn't seem to work.

Can someone please help me?

Answer 1

the key combination should come up before vista boots. it might be delete.

Answer 2

The BIOS menu can sometimes be TAB, Delete or F12, it depends on the type of BIOS or hardware you have.

Here's a short list:

Delete: AMI or Award BIOS.

Esc: Toshiba

F1: Toshiba; Phoenix; some IBM PS/1 models

F10: Compaq.

F2: NEC.

Insert: IBM PS/2
