Or press the ESC key when the screen lights up at POST. Then you will see the BIOS boot menu. And you can select the drive there. Although this menu here doesn't remember what you selected last time. So it is good for those rare occasions which you just want to change the boot device occasionally. I am not sure if it works on the 1000HA too, but it does on my Gateways and EeePC 700 series. -- Bill Asus EEE PC 701G4 ~ 2GB RAM ~ 16GB-SDHC Windows XP SP2 |
