    • Acer Aspire V5 571 - can't access BIOS setup after installing Linux Mint

     In the the BIOS setup I've changed from UEFI to Legacy mode and have reordered the sequence to 1.DVD 2.HD 3.Acer Mananger. The original order was: 1. Acer Manger; 2. HD 3. DVD. I've installed Linux Mint 32-bit version without any problems.

    Now, I want uninstall it  and install 64-bit version, but the computer doesn't pickup DVD as a start boot device. I've tried to access the BIOS setup but no luck. It looks like the original boot sequence is  back.

    When I turn on the comp, the Acer splash screen is displayed for sec or two. I press the F2 key and nothing happens. I've also tried other F keys and also the Delete key with no luck. If I press the Esc key at the start I get the GRUB loader.

     

    How do I access the BIOS setup?
