Hi there, I have recently bought a used older model Compaq Armada 7710MT laptop.
I also just bought a new/larger 14GB hard drive to upgrade it from its smaller 1.48GB hard drive. I cannot seem to access the laptop's BIOS. I have tried several different key commands (F10,F1,DEL UPON BOOT,etc...) but to no evail. If there's anyone who could help me with this it would be very much appreciated.Thank you,
Mark.
