Ok so i got this HP tower that was given to me because it just plain doesnt work. I have no cds etc etc. Problem is. I start up get the bios and thats about it. To blinking curor nothing, now i heard with HPs the setup software is on the computer somewhere and you gotta press (insert magic key here) before star up so it can access it. Any ideas? ---
