Reset the BIOS on a Compaq server 740 jumpers settings

Don,t do that insatead:
Entering the BIOS Setup menu Entering the BIOS Setup menu requires pressing a specific key at a specific time. If you fail to enter the Setup menu on your first try, repeat the following steps until you are successful:

Close all applications that are currently running and restart the computer by clicking Start , Shut Down , Restart the Computer , and then OK .
When the red Compaq logo or blue HP logo screen appears, press the F10 key on the keyboard to enter the Setup menu.

NOTE: An alternate to the above steps, especially if the logo screen disappears too quickly to enter BIOS, is to shut down (turn off) the computer. Wait 30 seconds, turn the power on and press F10 or F1 at the logo screen. Reloading the default settings Complete the following steps to reload the factory installed BIOS Setup settings:

In the BIOS Setup utility, select the Exit tab.
Select Load Setup Defaults .
Select Save Changes and Exit (pressing F5 and the Enter key will also load the Setup Defaults).
Press Esc and then Enter to exit Setup.

I am no expert at all but I managed to fix my son's computer by choosing the F10 key for rebooting the notebook. So pleased I can tell you! Select F10 and select boot options. For some reason the computer was trying to start up using the Optical Device Drive first and the Notebook Hard drive second. Once I changed them by using the Enter key to Notebook Harddrive first and Optical Hardrive second, it worked!!!! Save the changes by following the menu and pressing F10 to exit. The computer started back up as normal and went on to XP, etc, etc.
