BOOT sequence option not available in BIOS


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.?

That is very trivial, everyone knows this, of course yes

It may be trivial, but you didn't mention that you had done it. ;)

 

EDIT: @Mindovermasterasked about updating the BIOS. Is there an update available?

I have left the PC as it is, I haven't been able to resolve the problem to the present

So all of our suggestions do not help you?

You'd be surprised at the amount of times, even something as simple as a CMOS reset, is often overlooked. We cannot assume the level of skill for every forum user, hence why you often are given some of the most common troubleshooting tips.

    • Tech demos are a declaration of desire, an horizon for what they pretend to put on those boxes call consoles (i still laugh at the poor implementation of Hairworks in W3 when you compare it with the demos)...being made on UE5 doesn't give me any confidence considering how poorly it runs in those things, and CDPR is not a marvel in that aspect neither. And about the game, so far is non existent besides the cinematic trailer. If from the get go they have to justify the whys for the protagonist, you start your narrative with the left foot.
    • Seen a 5090 for just over $3,000 at Best Buy just a couple days ago. It wasn't the sticker price that made me laugh... it's knowing that, for now... that kind of investment that includes drivers that don't work, is a headache no one should have to shell out for. But.. it's not the first time Nvidia has choked on crappy drivers, won't be the last.. so, if you spent a pretty penny on the next gen, hang in there... sure they'll get it right some day here soon.
    • Because they and their 801 partners are hungry for your data, and the web is the best facilitator of everything privacy-violating in this day and age... They want all your non-microsoft account data going to microsoft's servers:
    • Sorry, I found your question odd, that's all ๐Ÿ˜….
    • "LOL The IoT version is for embedded systems" LOL. The IoT version is for whatever you want, why are you so stuck up? It's just A NAME. Open your mind, buddy ๐Ÿ˜…. It's not a different version of Windows, only the licensing model and the support dates change, nothing else. "there no real reason to do that" Everyone has their reasons. You love to use Linux. Why? You have YOUR reasons. Other people will have theirs. I use Windows 11 and Linux on the side. Why? I have my reasons. "No security updates? Who cares!" Many people do, just not you. Why not use a supported OS instead of an unsupported one if you can? LOL. I find it odd that a person that loves Linux and choice/freedom so much has such a hard time understanding why people do things different than him.
