access to BIOS setup Deskpro4000
hi everyone,
I got an old Deskpro4000. The system is not booting from CD and I want to change that to install an new OS. With which keys can I enter the BIOS setup? I tried all F-keys but no key is getting me into the BIOS. I hope some smart brain can help me. Any help much appreciated TIA dbyy |

Compaq usually uses the F10 key to access the BIOS setup. If it's an older
computer like a Pentium "1" or an early Pentium II, don't be surprised if the BIOS does not have an option to boot from CD...
