    hello,

    as i live in hk, when i bought the machine, samsung hk only offers it in chinese xp. so the shop where i bought it reformatted it into xp home english. a few weeks later, the OS went sour, so a mate said that he would reformat to windows 7. swearing that it was a far batter program, well... for me, its not. so i have tried to find the "change boot priority" setting, but its not in F2 as it boots up.

    have tried all other "F" keys, but cant find how or where to change. have a USB drive but just cant seem to get it to activate as it is booting up.

    so, does anyone out there know how to solve this?


    please.... windows 7 is driving me crazy. IMHO its not good for these little netbooks

    Press Esc at the BIOS screen to get the boot device menu (and an option to enter the BIOS setup).

    I discovered this by accident and don't recall reading it in any of the Samsung user manuals.
