Hit F8 or F10 2 to 3 times during bootup

BIOS? Usually, on the first start-up screen, it will tell you. Apparently it doesn't, but you might want to try F1, or the F8 and F10 like he said, or sometimes it's something like control+alt+delete or the like. If you have the user's manual, I'm sure it'll tell you.

Irk.. didn't mean Control/Alt/Delete :P.. I forget what it was on one of my computers, but I think it had control and alt in it. Maybe C/A/backspace.

On a Compaq you hit F10 while the red Compaq Logo is being displayed.
