Sony VAIO BIOS

[mbaldw]

Hi,

My girlfriend has a Sony Vaio (PGC-K125B) laptop.   We're trying to access the BIOS so that we can change the boot priority, but we cannot seem to get in.   When the system is switched on, we just get a black screen with a blue Vaio logo, followed by a black screen with a blinking cursor; it then loads Windows.   Nowhere can we find an option to enter the BIOS.   Can anyone make any suggestions how I can get into the BIOS of this laptop.

Cheers,
Marc.

p.s. if it helps, the BIOS is Phoenix Technologies Ltd. R0108XI, 12/04/2004.

This page indicates it is either F2 or F3.

Thanks for the link, Pat.   It looks like hitting ESC when the splash screen displays allows you to change the boot priority or enter the BIOS.

Cheers,
Marc.
