How do you get an ASUS P5K to boot to safe mode?

I'm having an ATI driver issue with my system and want to revert back to an older version of the Cat drivers to see if it resolves it.

Want to run DriverCleaner in Safe Mode but when I restart and tap F8 on the keyboard, it only gives me a screen where I can select the boot device or something?. No "Safe Mode" screen comes up.

So what key on an ASUS P5K based system should I be holding down/tapping to get into Safe Mode?.

Thanks.

Its after that Menu, Choose your HDD (the one you boot to) and then keep tapping F8.

If you Time it correctly you can avoid your issue and get to the Menu with Safe Mode etc.

Just as a heads up, this is Windows specific NOT motherboard specific. This will work on all windows NT based systems (NT, 2000, XP, Vista) on any motherboard.
