    My son's Dell is on the road going South. I am trying to get into the BIOS setup so that I can label cd drive as the 1, 2, and 3rd boot devices.
    As it boots upp I have tried repeatedly hitting the delete key ( it works on my CyberPower ) with no success, it goes right on with the boot.
    I hate Dell.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Dell's BIOS is usually the F2 key.

    A direct boot device menu may be an option using the F8 or F12 key.
