Can’t Load Windows ME

Okay, I have a Compaq Presario 5600i that I’ve formatted the hard drive and am trying to reload the Windows ME OS. I can’t get to the “bios” because when I hit the F10 key, it does take me to a “settings” screen, however, there is no option for thebios (to check).

Problem. I’m trying to load Windows ME and it locks up at the “A:” prompt. When I change it to the CD Rom (where the CD is), it still doesn’t respond to any DOS commands (i.e., e:dir or e:setup.exe, etc.)

HELP! I need to get this PC back to its user
