I have an ASUS CM5570 with Pentium Dual Core CPU, 2.60GHZ each, 6GB Ram, and 630GB HDD running Vista Home Premium OS. I've tried several times to start in Safe Mode pressing F8. Each time a blue window appears with 2 options: SATA:PM-Hitachi HDT721064SLA360 or CDROM: SM-ATAPI DVD A DH20A6S. I've always chosen the SATA option. The computer just boots in normal mode. How do I get this to start in Safe Mode? HELP! Thanks!
Click Start, Run, type in msconfig, and click OK. When the System Configuration Utility window comes up, click the BOOT.INI tab, select SAFEBOOT, and then OK. You will get asked to reboot and when you do, it will come up in Safe Mode.
When you're done in Safe Mode, go back to msconfig and remove the checkmark from SAFEMODE. Do this before you get out of safe mode or the computer may start continuously rebooting in safe mode.
