Hi suscarsimba,
Welcome to FixYa! How are you doing?
Please try the following steps:
Note:
You must press F8 before the Windows logo appears on the
screen. If you press F8 after the Windows logo appears, the Advanced
Boot Options menu does not appear on the screen. If you do not see the
Advanced Boot Options menu, restart the computer, and then repeat this
step until you see the menu on the screen.
Hope it helps. Thank you for using FixYa.
