if you're not sure which key it is to get into setup, do this:
take a hammer and give the keyboard a good couple wacks, but keep it plugged in. now boot up. it should give you a keyboard error and tell you to hit "X key" to go into setup. ("X key" being the DEL, ESC, F1 or F2 key).

[insert philosophical statement here]

Get your windows start up disk (or make a new one) then go to the dos prompt from there. I think ESC at the menu or something like that. It says on the screen what to hit for a dos prompt.
