Dell Latitude laptop

[tpman]

I would like to reload one of our old laptops with XP. It is a CPi D300XT with BIOS revision A05, Win NT 4.0 SP6. I want to reset the boot order but can't get into the BIOS. I have pressed pf1 and pf8 when it is booting up with no luck. What do I need to do in order to reset the boot order. I do not have the swappable floppy, just a cd-rom drive.

On most of our Dell Latitude's, try F2 while the Dell logo is on the screen.
As I don't have one to hand, I can't give you exact instructions on how to edit the boot order.

On my Latitutude you hit F12 immediately on startup.
This brings up a boot order screen.

I had to also press the Fn key while pressing the F3 key on boot up. Got into the BIOS after doing that. Got the OS loaded just fine. Thanks.
