    It should say on the screen when you first power up the system. It's usually F10, delete, or F1.

    It's the blue "thinkvantage" button on my T60 ... try that and see what happens.

    hey man i am new to the line of thinkpads but i got it. it is easy just turn your laptop on and then just click the thinkvantage button (the holy button). and then just give you a option to enter to the bios just click that. the system will restart and everything is good nothing to worry about.

    welcome to the lenovo family and enjoy this notebook man it is great.

    as mentioned before, f1 will get you right in. if you deleted your recovery partition, or screwed with the MBR(i know from experience), the thinkvantage button will work as well.
