Changing boot order sequence at startup

[damole]

I know it's probably been answered already but I can't seem to find which key changes the boot order sequence at start up. F12 seems the most likely candidate so far but It hasn't worked yet.

Does the Style Note splash screen pop up?

If so, the shortcut is shown there, although I don't know it off the top of my head.

Thanks.

I must admit I turned off the splash screen because it looked so tacky, now I get the AMI bios screen. My battery is doing it's initial charge so when that's finished I'll give this a go. I couldn't wait for the battery to charge when I got it on Friday before firing it up.

I need to boot from USB to install Ubuntu along side W7.

why not just go into the bios and change the boot order, then once done change it back? easier than tryiont o firgure out which key to press to get into the boot manager window.

I tried that didn't seem to work. I put USB key at the top.

sure you have a bootable USB?

I created it with Universal-USB-Installer which I've used many times for pendrive Ubuntu.

After turning the splash logo screen back on I found out that F7 is the boot order sequence Fn key but I will also check again changing the boot order in the BIOS.
