Hello experts, Hope you are doing well.

I had installed Windows 8.1 Pro. Along with it, I had tried to install Linux with it. After complete linux installation when I rebooted, I was getting duplicate boot entries in bios setup. I have searched on internet and found this tutorial to delete duplicate entries.

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749510(v=ws.10).aspx

I have deleted the boot entries using this tutorial and restarted but now after restart, it stuck on the Lenovo welcome page and says, Press F2 to enter setup and F12 to enter MultiBoot Menu. On pressing F2 or F12, it says "Please Wait" and nothing happens after that.

Please help me. I am stuck here and my laptop is of no use right now because of this.

Thanks and Regards

Linux is not going to change the Bios settings. Unless you set the Bios to only require F2. You have to hold the Fn & press F2.

Thanks for the reply.
Fn + F2 does nothing but only switch the screen on or off. My laptop is Lenovo Ideapad Z570.
