I have a Compaq Deskpro ep/sb series computer.
When I turn on the power the first screen I get has the RAM in the top left and F10=setup in the bottom right.
It stays like this for about 45 – 50 sec. and then it boots up into W95.
This machine has 96mb of RAM, Celeron 300.
It also has an Intel pro/100+ Management adapter. When this machine finally boots up it boots up (a,cd,then HDD).
When I get this above mentioned first screen I press F10 and then “ctrl” – “s”. This allows me to go to the Intel setup program.
This program looks as follows:
Intel Pro/100 Boot agent ver.2 setup prog.
Boot Protocol: PXE
PnP/BEV Boot: disable
Default Boot: Local
Local Boot: Enable
Prompt Time: 2
setup message: disable
How can I get this machine to boot up without the looong delay? I am stumped.
Thank you Mark.
