Hi I have a BenQ Joybook R43 laptop , my windows is corrupted and can’t start for some reason , but now i tried to reinstall my windows i putted the Windows XP CD Installation disk into my DVD Drive and then i waited till i see the boot logo (BenQ blablabla ) it told me to press F9 For boot menu or F2 To setup , i tried clicking both of them and it didn’t send me to a boot menu or anything it just acts like i didn’t press the keys and yes the keyboard is working and i tried doing the same with different USB keyboards ,. any ideas how to reach the boot menu so i can choose CD or USB or what the fuk i can ?
New Update , The booting is set default to hard disk which have corrupted windows that can’t boot up .
New Update , Some times it takes more than 10 minutes to boot up to the Windows XP loading boot screen before it automatically restart of course and some times it takes 10 seconds to boot up to the boot screen idk why .
The screen flicker a lot before i can see the boot screen (that’s for the 10 minutes one )
“To select a boot device manually, press the <F9> key when the
BenQ logo appears on the screen during system startup. The
Boot Menu will appear. Use the up and down arrow keys to select a boot device, and then press <Enter> to confirm”
If it’s going ahead and booting into windows it likely means you pressed the key too late. Start tapping it as soon as you turn it on.
To have a USB keyboard work during bios setup you need to previously have ‘legacy USB support’ enabled in ‘advanced configuration’ from the main bios menu (F2 during BenQ logo).
Here’s a downnload for the manual if you don’t have it:
