loaded windos xp on older Compaq Presario now when I try to enter Bios to shut off case fan the bios option isn't there. I've cycled through all the f keys and only get boot menu and the option to reset to an earlier time. (None of these helped get my bios screen back)
I get an energy star screen and it shows me my drives then it goes to a black screen saying press f2 to continue without case fan. then it goes right in to load windows previous date or load windows normally.
Any suggestions?

Jump to PostI am a little confused.
Do you have a faulty Fan that you wish to disable?
You can just pull the power cable manually.
Jump to PostIf there is no case fan fitted I would not be too concerned aout instructing BIOS to disable it. Delete key to enter BIOS?
Anyway, if that startup screen that shows your drives does not indicate BIOS Setup options [key presses] then perhaps it is time to reset BIOS.
