I have a laptop, and for some reason , I can't access the BIOS with the usual buttons. It has Ubunu installed, no Windows or nothing.

The Ubuntu partition says its 30GB with no other partitions , but I know this laptop is 250 gb SSD .

How do I access the BIOS

How do I access the rest of the SSD?

I usually access the bios by clicking all the upper row keys as crazy. Last resource I search in the vendors manuals. About disk space, check with hearted, you can edit partitions there, even resize. Be careful though

*check with gparted. Damn autocorrect!

Thanks for reply. The usual BIOS button on startup isn't working. I'll try hearted , never heard of that. Thanks for helping !

Strange... Maybe you are not fully powering off? A sleep state?

Someone online said remove the CMOS battery .

Won't harm if you know how to open and close the shell. Wait a minute before putting it back.

Have you tried searching online on how to enter your brand of BIOS?

Yes, it simply will not work.

What's the model? Solme laptops have a weird bios booot procedure. I've had some you had to use a Fn button to anything, seen bios or boot options on f12, f9, f3, esc and sing a song. Hold Cntrl and the right shift while getting a high score at twister

HP Pavillion

Try holding f10 at booot, but also try f1, or esc. Yoh may also try asking it nicely, or summoning an otherworldly being to assist.

I'll summon a set of stairs and politely throw it down them.

Or a garbage truck to run over it

You've done this before .

Technology and I have been at war since I was young. We are both determined to have the last word.

Yeah, fn key may do the trick

I'll certainly try.

Have you tried calling it a cunt?

Didn't even asked, first thing to try. Even noobs know it

I call everything a cunt, but I'll try it with malice and conviction this time.

Make it feel your frustration, man!

I was able to access BIOS very simply few years ago. Laptop was shelved for a bit. Come back, no BIOS for YOU!

Remember that pinball game for Windows XP? I used to be class at that game.
