Bios resets to network setting only

Last response: in Components

I have a strange problem with a compaq 3,4 ghz model number compaq dx7200 mt base unit
I have reset the bios using 3 different way .
I got rid off the password that protected the system but the bios resets only to a choice of Floppy
usb

or network
It wont recognice anything although it recognized the cd once but that dissapeared.
I dont have a floppy on my home computer but I have an external hard drive
does the bios need flashing and if it does is there any way I can flash it from my external hard drive?
Any help would be welcome

are you able to enter the bios by holding down the f10 key when first powering on the system? can you go into the storage option and see your dvd and hard drive...can you change the boot order to dvd then hdd?
