Hello,

I have a compaq nx6325 laptop, how can i access the BIOS? i tried f2, f9, f10, f12 but none of them work.

F12 will let me chose if i run from CD or HD.
F10 loads something up (not the BIOS though because i cant partition a hard drive).

Basically, i am trying to partition my HD so i can install Windows 98. When i install Windows 98 (by inserting the disk on start-up) it asks if i want to continue because other Operating Systems may not work, however, if i press 'Y' and continue will it let me partition it later on?

Regards,

Mitchell Wheeler.

you cant partition a hdd in the bios ,if you are using winxp you need to do it when formatting and installing windows .
or use third party partition software ,google for one
