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 PostOk you confused me more. What does boot option have to do with the fan running or not.
Can you please clearly state what you want?
