Well, a friend of mine also has one of these "brand PC's" with weird BIOS that
doesn't follow the "press DEL to enter BIOS" convention. So what I basically do
is this: from the instant you power on the box, press and hold down a key (I
usually take DEL, but any key should work). Then it'll detect some keyboard
malfunction and ask you to press F2 (probably differs on your HP) to enter BIOS.
This trick might work, or perhaps not. Worth a shot though.
ps: perhaps the BIOS is password protected (some vendors do this so they don't
have to fix what you screw up). In this case you should call the helpdesk for
the password, but I 've seen some vendors that cancel your warranty if you do.
So watch out ;)

Unix IS user-friendly. It's just not ignorant-friendly
or idiot-friendly.
