Re: Help - pressing F8 doesn't take me to advanced boot options.

That may be the cause. There will be a delay until the wireless keyboard is actually acivated. It is longer than a standard keyboard. This delay can cause you to miss the window of opportunity to press the F8 key successfully. If you have a standard keyboard to plug in instead, you can test to see.
