Can't get into BIOS
Just found a compaq deskpro 4000. It boots up fine but won't detect the cdrom. (have tried various cdroms/cables) Need to get into BIOS but the usual don;t work, F10, del etc. Anyone know how to get into the bios of a compaq and why the cdrom may not be recognised??!

If I remember correctly on these Compaqs there is a special external program that allows you to access the BIOS by the means of a floppy.
I believe the floppy image is available from HP/Compaq. I took the liberty to find the link to the support page pertaining to your comptuer:

Good luck.
These things have on-board video, EIDI, and NIC, so it has done very well on my home network.
Good luck!
Its alllll in the startup scripts. All in the startup scripts. >.<
