[tony draper]

Nephew has a Hewlet Packard Pavilion Desktop Machine,anybody know how one enters bios on HP Kit?it's not hitting del on boot up,neigbour said its hold F2 on boot up but that dont seem to do anything either.
Greatful for any help.
Machine has not been used for years because it had problems and said nephew got himself a lappy,I was thinking of pulling the hard disk and sticking in a new formated one,but being a store bought puter I'm not sure if it will allow this,is there anything propriety to HP machines tha I should know about?
thanks
