Sounds like your computer requires a different keystroke to enter the BIOS at power 
up. The del key is the most common and usually works for clones, but name brand 
computers like yours often require you to press a different key to get into the BIOS. 
Take a good look at the boot message upon power on; most manufacturers tell you there 
what key to press to get into the BIOS. Failing that check your Compaq manual or check 
Compaq's web site.
