[IAEP] Boot SoaS on Windows machines? Help!

[Mike Lee]

Caryl,

Which eeePC do you have? On the eeePC 701 I have (the original), I
press and hold F2, then power on with the SoaS inserted. The American
Megatrends logo should appear on black, then the blue "BIOS SETUP
UTILITY" screen. Hit the right arrow to select the "Boot" tab. Then
follow the instructions to change the Boot Device Priority to your USB
drive.

I have my eeePC handy, but not SoaS. If you need more help, I can look
for one of my SoaS drives tomorrow to test the procedure.

Unfortunately, the function key for opening the BIOS setup is
different on every PC I've encountered. I've placed a sticker dot over
the proper function key on some of my machines.

Mike
