Access to BIOS is unavailable.
Access to BIOS is unavailable.
I've been wanting to get this old Fujitsu Systems Scaleop system working to use as a NAS/Media server. It's got one of those weird intel quad duos which is just two core duos shoved together. As well as a GT9600 Nvidia GPU and 4GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM. Its got an old MSI Motherboard as well. And if i were to have guess this a 2007/8 era machine and came with Windows Vista. When trying to get into a flash drive to install a new OS, i had some issues and then it was struggling to boot (I believe this is caused by the power button being a little damaged or something) and i was stuck at this point until recently where ive just been using the PSU switch to turn it on and off. I can get to the splash screen and sometimes it posts to the America Megatrends screen but cannot get back into the BIOS or boot menu. The reason i think this is happening is because i reset the BIOS to try get it to boot which as a result reset the setting for USB Keynoards to work. I do not have any PS/2 Keyboards, all i have is usb keyboards and a usb to ps/2 adapter, its got the colour for the Mouse PS/2 port instead of keyboard but im not sure if this acctually matters. Is there anyway i can get in to the bios without buying a PS/2 Keyboard? All suggestions are appreciated.
If it lacks the ability or drivers for USB peripherals in its region, it’s not straightforward. You might manually install drivers onto the OS already installed by connecting the boot drive to another machine. If there’s no bootable OS and it’s a BIOS feature, you’d need to upgrade the BIOS to a newer version that supports USB devices by default or adjust the settings—both processes often require a PS2 mouse or keyboard to choose options in the BIOS. PS2 mice and keyboards are relatively affordable. Local computer stores nearby can help if they have a set available for borrowing, free use, or at a reduced cost.
