This Compaq 2100us was running xp sp3 w/Net and lubuntu 14.04 in a dual boot config
deleted lubuntu, reinstalled win sp1 and updated to sp3 from a self -extracting upgrade on a usb. (From ms downloads)

Installed IE8 and all was running fine.


When I power up I get the Compaq screen with the [esc - f2 - f12 options]


pressing f2 displays "entering setup" and does nothing


after powerup agian
pressing f-12 displays "booting from LAN" and does nothing


after powerup again
pressing Esc. displays the following:
