When I log on to computer it stalls at compaq screen. All I can do is press f10 (I believe) and it takes me to BIOS screen. No matter what values I change at BIOS screen my computer never goes past compaq screen. I have pictures of the screens off of the bios screen. Also how do I know whether the BIOS detects the hard drive? That is the problem.

Here is history that put me where I am at now. I installed SP2 and didn’t turn off my virus protection (2002 I believe). Computer broke so I had to log on using my boot disk. While doing that I was asked a question I believe about partioning the disk drive and I answered Yes and while the computer was doing something the computer got cut off. After that I have been having this problem. In 2001 my hard drive went bad and I go a new hard 60 g hard drive in 2 partitions. Also my memory was upgraded also.
