bios

i need to know how to get into bios. i have an hp computer with pheonix bios.i tried f2,f10,and del on start-up but none of these worked.

 

there is nothing on bios

 

try f1

 

it is actually a compaq,and the only manual i have says getting started.it is a presario 4020.

 

check this out: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/Q_21247189.html . Same problem as you and got it going.

-Del

 

Ok you added that Compaq note while I was looking stuff up. So I looked again and found this: http://www.burningvoid.com/iaq/cbios.php .

-Del

 

dude, you might as well go to compaq or hp this is a very complicated processe. there is no easy way out. i guess every pc manufacture has there own way of doing things. thanks a million.i just left from tech support, it looks like i have my job cut out for me.

 

You'll be ok...just google for it.

 

hp hooked me up, it works great. oh yeah to get into bios u hit f1 when pc startsup

 

it was all free too

 

Don't mention it
