...i tried to get to bios and cmos but no luck...

What did you try?  Most Compaq's require F10 to enter BIOS.

puterdumb........What kind of a pc do you have and what o/s are you using ....... What do you mean by memory card ? ......"really need some kind of storage."

Did you buy this pc from Ebay .......recently ......the one that Noah used to navigate the ARC ?

Give us some info ......you may have a museum piece there .
