(Name?) With typical PC's, that is usually the delete key, and on others, F1. The first screen you see at boot should have at the bottom of it a key to hit, so look closely at that. Many name brand PC's have other keys that must be hit. Among them are Ctrl S, Alt S, or the Ctrl key with some other letters (B, F, etc). You need to post the model of the PC if none of these work, or may have to check Compaq's website (or contact them).
