Try starting the computer and while the compaq screen is still up kill the power. This is a trick i use on my presario 1200 laptop and when you re-start (at least on my computer) it will bring you to a screen where you can either boot [F1] or enter bio[F10] or something like that. Good luck and happy computing.

There isn't a 'compaq' screen on the 420c, he needs to use the Compaq Setup Disk.
