cox Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I have an old DELL precision workstation T3400 I recently wanted to change the boot sequence, but it isn't there or not shown any more. It used to be there, but all of a sudden I can't see it. I can see all my Drives properly, and I was lucky I can use it without any problems because I had set the first boot priority to my SSD. Tried to change the battery, it didn't help. I unplugged all cables and replugged them, not solved. Has anyone here any Idea how I can get this back? My friend Google wasn't there to help either Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 9, 2020 Moderator Share Posted October 9, 2020 That sounds weird. Can you get us a picture of the BIOS? With camera or phone? Did you update your BIOS recently? Or if there is one? Might need to reset your BIOS, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just curious, rather than going in to the BIOS what happens if you select F12 to select the boot device manually? Can you see the HDD, USB, Network etc.?

We cannot assume the level of skill for every forum user, hence why you often are given some of the most common troubleshooting tips.
