Still with the Win7 hard drive in, I then inserted an Ubuntu 14 圆4 USB install SD card as well as a Spotmau ERD USB Flash drive and a Spotmau ERD CD-ROM and hit "any key". Press key to recover with factory image using Recovery or any keys for next boot loop iteration. I inserted another drive which has a virgin Windows 7 on it and, no doubt due to Secure Boot being selected by default, a message comes up All boot options are tried. I removed and looked at the hard drive on another PC and it is fine. No repetitive strain injury bashing of any of the function keys will resolve this. It seems that there is a serious bug in Samsung laptops (I cannot tell you the range, but at least I now know the model in question suffers from it) that seems to stops them from booting or going into an infinite boot loop after a crash dump. Nor does it work, as I have tried, with any of the other Function keys. However, as with the OP, this doesn't work. I'm currently working on a 6-month-old Samsung NP270E5V which was pre-installed with Windows 8 and the manual for which states clearly that the BIOS access key is F2. Now I would like to upgrade or downgrade the BIOS so I could enter the BIOS with Windows installed. Now I want to reinstall Windows in UEFI mode but still unable to enter the BIOS. It's running perfectly but only in MBR mode. I installed Windows 8 64-bit (Windows in UEFI mode and also convert partition to GUID Partition Table mode). I repeated the same procedure I did earlier and also tried entering the BIOS without the HDD attached but all my tries failed. I can enter BIOS and restore default settings now.Īgain, after installing a fresh copy of Windows 8 64-bit, I'm unable to enter the BIOS.

Then it didn't boot any further, only BIOS appeared. I removed the HDD from laptop and attached it to another desktop PC. I tried all possible keys but am still unable to enter BIOS. I am unable to use the Samsung restore function using F4 or enter the BIOS setup using F2. I downloaded and installed Windows 8.1 and after the installation the laptop just restarts automatically continuously. I bought a new Samsung ATIV Book 2 NP270E5V-K01AE Notebook.
