How To get into American megatrend Bios

[2fast4u_computer]

Hey guys
I have a quick question, I am working on reformating a American Megatrend computer. I tried booting it from the Windows XP cd and it does not reconize it during start up, so what I am trying to do is get into the Bios and change the boot order. I been trying to get into the Bios for the last couple days and cant seem to get in. When I first start up the computer I hit the "pause/break" button to see if theres a key that I should hit. Most computers show "del", "F2" "F12" etc during start up. This computer does not show anything so I do not know how to get in there. Thanks in advance.

From what I gather on google, DEL is how you enter Ami. BIOS.. not sure why it's not working for you

Try Tapping The Following (By Tapping, i mean from when you turn computer on, till you get into Bios)

Firstly. Most Common - DEL

If No good.

Try F1

If No Good.

Try F2

If No Good

Try F12.

It SHOULD be one of those.

Remember too Tap, Not hold down.

Nope, just a non usb keyboard. I will try those Function keys as stated above and see what happens and will let you guys know. Thanks for the Help

Got it!, Its the "DEL" key. It shows a quick flash at the begging of start up that you can barely see. Thanks for the help guys!!
