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.

    • Kind of an unrelated rant, but... As someone with kids, who as of a few years ago were young enough that I wanted some of these family safety features. I have to say, any good intention MS had was completely RUINED by how absolutely awful the parental interface is. There was the family portal with limited settings, but more detailed settings were scattered is completely unintuitive ways. There was a child details page where you could configure the 100+ features, but, the features in the "gaming" section only applied the extremely limited list of Windows Store games that were not XBox branded. For anything with XBox branded, you had to find the XBox parental consent portal, which had another 100+ features to dig through and try to figure out what was blocking your two kids from playing Minecraft together. To make the experience even more infuriating, MS implemented their same signature documentation we find for 365 and Azure, that it is very easy to find documents talking about how easy it is to use any given dashboard or portal, but without including a link to said resource...you might have to 20-30 results deep on Google before you find that answer, it was nearly impossible to simply find a portal by searching for it.

    • Like many, I'm not buying and expensive items until the tariff nonsense is resolved. I wonder if that has something to do with (along with the notes others are making)?
    • Only option I want is to disable the system tray overflow menu and always show icons, W11 added option to hide the menu but then icons will still go there instead of the tray.
