My hp Compaq nx6120 can't starts. When I turn on screen the follow messages F10=ROM Based setup
i pressed F10 but I can't go into bios.
please help me!!

your cd rom may not reading the os cd installer, try to clean the cd and run it again with the same procedure as you did first.

1. Try SAFE MODE first.
2 If the problem is still there, format the disk and reinstall XP.

Take the hint, Usually when you get that message, its time to go shopping for hard drives. I wouldn't put it off.

Sounds like your hard drive is about to pack up. You can disable SMART for your hard drive in your CMOS setup. which will allow you to boot up your pc. I suggest you back-up all your data as soon as possible before the hard drive fails completely.

cnge BIOS cell & then try .
