It's a Compaq Presario CQ5110F. And it's going back to Office Depot tomorrow. If they're willing to install my old hard drive without voiding the warrantee, that's fine, but if they don't, I'm demanding a refund and telling everyone that asks me for advice on where to buy a new computer not to shop there. My wife found on the internet that all new computers built since 2002 come with a bios option to boot from an external device. This one didn't.
