I can't get my computer to start up in BIOS anymore. I hold down F2, F9, DEL and nothing. I restart, shut down and start, hold the buttons, tap them rapidly and nothing. It keep starting up in windows. What do? I am trying to get it to recognize a hardirve.

And i still don't know how i got into the bios. Restarting and shutting down again, no matter what I press, f2, f9 or del it still wont go to bios. Holding down or pressing repeatedly.

It's a 2TB disk drive. It showed up before after plugging it in and restarting my computer a few times. I cannot get it to show up no matter what I do now. I've restarted my computer probably 30 times now with it plugged. Device manager wont show it and I can't get into BIOS anymore. when I could it wouldn't show up there.

And how do i get back to bios? I've started my computer a dozen times holding down f2, f9 and del, and then holding all of them down, smashing each one, smahing each of them on startup. nothing. Windows 10 starts right up. WTF

find the instruction booklet that came with your motherboard or just google the model and find it online

It's tough to pinpoint why the BIOS is not being activated. It could because of timing or the way your computer is set up. So the best way to do it if you can't figure it out is through the recovery option that Gamer99z posted.

As for the HDD, do you see it under disk management (use win + X to get to it)?

I can get into bios if I unplug the power supply and then start it up. It will then give me a chance to get intio bios. Problems solved.

Problem is it won't recognize my hardrive that it would before. I have no idea what to do anymore. It's plugged into the same power supply my 3 other drives are, and it's plugged into a SATA cord. Wont' show up at all.

Yeah still can't get the drive to show up anywhere. It's even warm to the touch.
