Possible options Check the online manual with IBM to see if you need to hit any special keys to drop into a boot selection menu. Some IBM laptops had a CD firmware upgrade and a bios upgrade to deal with problems like this. Check out their support website with Levono and see if any of these upgrades apply to this machine.
