I need to access IDE controller related settings on my dv8000t. Does anyone know a key combination to access advanced BIOS options for this machine? (Some systems have them; others don't.)

On poweron, hit F10.

That brings you into the BIOS, yes. But I was asking about advanced BIOS settings, since the dv8000t offers access to essentially no settings whatsoever.

Some systems have separate key combos for regular BIOS and advanced BIOS settings...

But it doesn't matter... Problem solved via workaround.

BTW, per HP support (I'm using the term "support" very loosely, as the guy had no clue), there is no advanced BIOS on the dv8000t.
