On most systems, you press and/or tap an F-key repeatedly during boot-up to bring up the BIOS menu.

Here is a listing of the BIOS key sequence by system manufacturer, which will cause your system to boot, then bring you to the BIOS screen. It is very important to have the correct model number to ensure that you are provided with the correct instructions. The model number can usually be obtained from the sticker found on the case of a desktop PC or from the label on the bottom of a laptop. If you require assistance to change your BIOS settings to ensure that the USB ports are first in line during boot-up, simply post your system manufacturer's name and the EXACT model number of the system. To successfully boot from the USB stick, you MAY require a BIOS 'Firing Order' change to ensure that the system looks to the USB ports first for bootable media - before looking/ defaulting to the hard drive or CD/DVD drive to boot your system.

I checked at the SeaTools site and found that they offer a tool/app, filename = USBbootSetup-SeaToolsBootable.zip that you can download run the EXE inside the zip file ( SeaToolsBootable_RC_2.1.2.usbBootMaker.exe) and create a bootable USB stick for SeaTools with DOS on it.Īs with the CD/DVD, you will obviously be booting from the media device that you just created - the USB stick.
