I have used BSD in the past, so when I got a new Compaq Presario I tried installing 8.2.
I selected to use the entire drive all seemed to go without a problem until I did the boot after installation. Compaq has a partition that is used to reinstall Win 7, and can use recovery disks that again probably rely on the partition. On the boot I cannot get past the initial Compaq screen, can't get into bios or do F2, F10,or F11 to get to the bios. Also no sign of BSD booting. I am essentially hosed, cannot use my recovery disks to get back to Win 7, don't know the status of the bios. And HDD status unknown. Called Compaq service, tried to help but they are stumped. Any help greatly appreciated for my 3 week old laptop.
