Normally it is accessed thru F10. On those models the "Compaq Partition " was that F10 ran to configure the BIOS. What you will need to do is download the appropriate Setup and Diagnostics Disks from Compaq and these can then be booted from the diskettes that are created and will run the Setup program and allow BIOS setup. Running setup might even get rid of the Error 1791 message.

Subject: RE: New W2K Server
Congratulations! I just built one for home use. It's a simple setup, I
used 2 hard drives;
* Disk0: 3Gb, strictly system. No data, storage, etc.
* Disk1: 15Gb; I've partitioned this one into three 5Gb drives. 1: Apps, 2:
Data1, 3: Data2
The server is an old Compaq Deskpro 2000. And maybe someone can answer this
question, "How do you access the BIOS on this old box?" I've tried F1 thru
F10, and nothing.
I also get a disk error (1791) that allows me to boot up, but only after
hitting any key. Once I'm logged on everything appears to fine. I'm still
in the process of checking it out though.
If this note has evoked a flashback from anyone, your response would be very
much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jesse E. Gardner, MCP

Subject: New W2K Server
I have finally build my first W2k Server. I have set up a totally new domain
to correct the mistakes in our current one. I have run DCPromo installed AD,
set up the DNS, set the Security Policies and so on. My question is if I go
ahead and put this on my network, it shouldn't cause any conflicts with my
existing NT boxes should it since it is a totally new domain?
