Catch 22 -- double tap the pen on the screen to open the BIOS (or hit F2 on the keyboard). Guess where you have to go to enable the prompt to tell you when? That's right! Just keep tapping right before Windows starts and it'll open for you. There are other ways to get there, if you've got the right files, but this'll work.RecycleSave@aol.com

Thanks Wanderer for the help. Now I find my BIOS is password protected, and there is no way I can guess the password, what should I do to force reset the password? Take out the CMOS battery?

Taking out the main battery won't help, there is an internal lithium coin cell. Also you can't easily remove this coin cell as it is soldered to the motheboard. I guess if that is all you can do check the pictures on my page. Look under the thread 510 internals in this forum.
