Reboot to factory settings

It should be F10 to push to run the full system recovery on all the HP products.
you should press it repeatedly after the logo screen appears. keep tapping it until the recovery menu appears.
If that still doesn't work, you may have a recovery partition corruption. The only way to restore it then is to order discs direct from HP. If i remember right, they don't cost much from HP.

ok, next test...
when your looking at the phoenix bios thing, click the exit key (i think its normaly F10 or F11 or Escape) and immediately start tapping F10 again, sometimes the one overrides the other :-S
Also, just double check that there isn't anything in the start menu relating to "Compaq system resources" or something like that, they would normally have the recovery manager in there somewhere
