    Hi guys, I have a ux32vd-r4002p.
    I deleted all partitions on the hard-disk mechanical and I installed windows 8 on this. I have not formatted the internal ssd that consist of two partition, one of 4gb and one of 18gb as the original.
    Now, when I press the del button, i can not access to the bios, and if I put a pendrive and press esc the boot windows that allows you to choose to boot from pendrive doesn't appear.
    How do I fix this?

    Thanks

    I press f2 or f4 or canc, but the result is the same. The notebook doesn't go in bios.
    The initial screen is strange, appear the asus logo with an icon of loading and then appear windows. In the down right corner the intel logo is no more present.
    I'll record a video.

    You need to go to advanced restart settings in windows to do a normal bios boot that will allow you to enter the bios.

    thank you very much for the answer.
    i have download a shortcut for "Startup Options Menu"; i restarted the pc with this and i went on troubleshoot and then on UEFI firmware setting. I enter in the bios and i disable "fast bios" and "launch csm". After that, if i press canc the notebook enter in the bios, and if i press esc the notebook show the boot option as before.

    Thanks

    Of course disabling those options means you wont boot as quickly, why do you need constant access to the bios? I believe it falls back into standard boot mode if it can't start properly.

    I also believe that it falls back into standard boot mode because can't start properly. I don't know how to start properly boot, because the initial screen is strange. The correct boot is this:
    ASUS ZENBOOK Prime UX32VD w akcji - NetPozytywny.pl - YouTube

    in comparison to mine, the screen shows the asus logo and the Intel logo and then shows the screen with the logo of windows 8 and logo of loading. While my video shows only the asus logo screen and below the logo loading and then directly enter in the operating system.

    are there other items in the bios that I can set to fix?

    the my boot is this:

    it is as if windows 8 boot and asus bios had merged (in boot phase).

    Problem solved. Because someone could help, I tell you what I did. I disabled the "fast boot" and i enabled "launch csm" in the bios. Now it appears the normal bios screen at startup with asus and intel logo, and then the logo of windows 8. At startup if i press delete normally enter in the bios.

    Thanks
