On my VAIO, I cannot enter the bios. I want to enable hardware address translation virtualization for hyper-V and I want to change the boot order to thr cdrom first to install windows 7 (maybe on a partition or a vhd if I can solve thr firsat problem. I am a programmer at microsoft so I know enough not to shoot myself in the foot with bad bios settings. I have hit F2 at thr VAIO screen at system startup to no affect. Being locked out of features on a machine I thought I owned (I did pay for this machine) is exceptionally frustrating and I don't understand how getting into BIOS could actually be difficult unless I was intentionally locked out. If this is to save users from themselves then maybe I can understand but i've been looking this up and so far no succcess.
Is blocking me out of BIOS by design? If so, then I feel robbed - please tell me how to enter BIOS settings. I was able to find it after searching more. I don't know why it's so hard to get to - like some buriee magical secret but here is the answer to the riddle: Befor you press the power button, PRESS and HOLD the ASSIST button and then the power button. Now you get the menu you want. Holding the assist button from after the moment the machine powers on may also be helping but i still only succeed intermitantly. Wacky -how hard they made it - why?
Bios Cmos Setup
I fould the hardware SLAT for hyper-v in the 2 - (or F2?) advanced bios settings screen. Geeeeeeeezzz - SONY! Hello, Superduperandy. Sorry for the confusion. Microsoft made requirements for a change to BIOS & recovery access options for Windows 8. In previous Windows Operating Systems, hooks had to be inserted to 'catch' the boot cycle at the right point with the F2 key to induce the PC to go into BIOS mode, or F8 to boot to the Advanced Boot Options screen.

But Windows 8 uses a hybrid shut down state, and also boots so quickly that it is nearly impossible to catch the boot cycle by pressing even a single key at the right moment. Booting to BIOS or recovery has changed for nearly all OEMs, as a result. On all VAIO PCs with Windows 8 preinstalled, just shut down the PC using the normal WIndows 8 shut down procedure. Then, instead of using the power button to start it, just press the Assist button. Booting from Assist will take you to an options menu which includes BIOS and recovery. I have included a picture of the screen you should see when you boot from the Assist button below.
This screen includes instruction to use F2 to get to BIOS, but F2 only works to get there when you have this screen up on the PC. It is very rare that I take the time to sign up for a forum, and even less likely that I take the time to comment. You have to purchase recovery media? That is absolutely aweful.

When purchasing business or personal laptops in the future, I will research this facet of the hardware before purchasing, as it will be a deciding factor. As for windows 8, It will never be on any hardware I deploy. Just like Vista wasn't. I will out wait the horrible that is windows 8. I am sure there is still someway to directly access the BIOS. I cannot believe that BIOS access would be per-verted in this way.
