Hi there
I have been working on a Compaq Deskpro 4000 5116MMX machine. It originally had Win95 and was hooked up to a network in a company. The company moved to the US and the computers were sold off to the employees. This computer still had a lot of network stuff on it and no way could we get past the network password. I swapped out the hard drive and loaded Win98 SE on the new drive. Now I can't access the BIOS. The machine boots up just fine and everything seems to be working great now. It's just that when I had the original hard drive hooked up on boot up it gave a message to press F10 to enter setup ... now with the new drive there is no message and nothing I press will do this for me. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do?
Thanks

Install the F10 setup utility from Compaq. Setup information was stored on a separate partition on the hard drive.

Thanks Dave ... really appreciate the help. I was getting kind of worried there but at least I still had the original hard drive.
Thanks again
