Hold F8? That's the standard normally...

Ok - on my ASUS you can select the boot menu by tapping F8, it might be different on yours. Once that menu comes up, keep one finger ready to tap that F8 key some more, and use your other hand to select the hard drive windows is on. After that, get tapping again and the windows message should come up. But I used to use DR. Death's way too, works as well but with a slight risk of corruption.
