I Have Tried Esc,f-1,f-2,f-10,del.i Have Tried Everything I Know To Get Into The Biosof My Cf-25.i Hopethat Someone Can Tell Me Something That Will Work.thanks

According to the manual , the BIOS is accessed by pressing F1 at startup. Perhaps you have a dodgy keyboard?. You might try plugging a PS/2 keyboard into the beast and see if that works.

The manual, which is available for download from Panasonic.com, says to press the F1 key. Don't hold it down, press it once every second to get in.

F-1 Takes Me To The Setup But There Has To Be Some Place Where I Can Set Boot Selection ,or To Adjust For More Memory,or To View System Settings .

Page 41 of the manual posted above shows Boot up drive FDD->HDD so Id suggest looking at altering that perameter.

stop shouting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

use lower case!

if it does,nt see the memory , then the memory is INCORRECT for the laptop.

can u remove the orig 32m , and run it with the extra 64m , or is it built into the machine?
