The Dell logo is too early.  Do you get a GRUB prompt to choose the OS to boot?  AFTER that is when you start, but once you see the Windows logo, it is too late.
Hi, I am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 with Suse Linux 12.2, using dual-boot. For some reason, I cannot boot into save mode - pressing F8 leads to a normal boot with no error messages. Pressing F12 once the Dell Icon is displayed correctly throws me into boot options. I am wondering if my problem with F8 is due to dual-boot and/or the fact that my disk is partitioned. Thanks in advance, s660117
Can't boot into Safe Mode.
