Keep pressing F2 right after the machine starts and before OS loading. The key might change for different machines - try Del or F10 as well.

This helped heaps!! Special thanks to 'Anish Shah' and 'Scott B' as well for other way around without getting into the BIOS.. I think its easier that way.. But I do wish if there was a way to have just the 'F2 F4 and F5' keys and media keys directly accessible i.e. simultaneously.. In other words, I wish I could change the Fn key behavior right down to each individual 'F' key rather than all of them together.. Don't think this would be possible though.. right?
