New laptop, new problem. Damn Compaq screen!

[SSG RONFIN]

I bought a nice HP laptop, but I can't figure out how to remove the damn compaq splash screen that you see every time I turn it on. I changed the boot screen, I changed the login screen, but inbetween is this stupid looking Compaq screen that I wanna delete. Any ideas?

As far as I know it is in the BIOS - so short answer is, you can't remove it.

go into your bios
f1 i believe
then move to where it says Boot
enter
enable boot-time diagnostic screen
then hit f10 save settings and exit
when it says are you sure
hit yes
you should be all set
