You still have the notebooks manual? And have you attempted to check Compaq's site? My old presario notebook used the del key, and my new Dell uses the F2 key to enter the BIOS.

Out of curiosity, why do you need to get into the notebooks bios? I dont know about your model, but my old compaq did not have a lot of options in there.

Im trying to set the bios to boot to floppy so I can install a new os. I dont have the manual and the manual I downloaded from compaq doesnt say anything about it. I also looked in their faq with no results and have been searching the internet and cant find anything. f10 and f2 and del and fn= these buttons dont work neither.Im lost
