Occasionally, you may find that Windows or the notebook has stopped responding
and will not let you turn the notebook off. If this happens, try the following in this
order:
If possible, shut down Windows: press
Shut Down > Restart.
–or, if this fails–
Press and hold the power button for at least 4 seconds until the display shuts
down. Any unsaved data will be lost. Then press the power button again
to restart.
–or, if this fails–
Insert the tip of a paper clip into the reset button on the bottom of the
notebook, and then press the power button to restart.

To change the boot device

The notebook normally boots from its internal hard disk. You can also boot the
notebook from a floppy disk drive, a CD-ROM drive, or an internal network
interface card.
1. Click Start > Turn Off Computer > Restart.
2. When the logo screen appears, press
Use the arrow keys to select the boot device, and press

If you want to boot from a specific device whenever it is present, change the
boot order using the BIOS Setup utility. See "Configuring Your Notebook"
