Dell XPS 730x not showing boot process
Reloaded a Dell XPS 730x with Windows 7 (formated the hard drive etc.). The computer does not show anything on the monitor, until it starts loading windows. It takes a long time to boot. I want to be able to see what it's doing during boot, in case I need to press the F1 key or offer some other response.

you can usually disable the full screen logo in the bios as well
Try to change the boot sequence to Hard Disk as the 1st place, there is a possibility the computer is searching for a CD / DVD to boot to or USB pen drive if the hard disk is not the first boot sequence, thus it take time to load the OS.

Correction on my last comment above:
"Thanks kwang, but my aim is to make it display the boot process. "
Ordered Dell Technical Support for the computer. Also ordered a new hard drive. Will reload the computer on the new hard drive, with Dell's support. Even with the new hard drive and Dell operating system CD, I haven't been able to see the bios or boot options. We'll see how it goes.

tx for the feedback
>> Even with the new hard drive and Dell operating system CD, I haven't been able to see the bios or boot options << did you do a fresh install, or put an image on the new drive?
with an image ; you copied the problem across imo
and possibly, updationg the bios may help also
