   I have no use for HP computers, but most bioses allow you to press a 
key *before* boot up that gives you a choice of bootable devices that 
will appear on your screen, you scroll up or down and press enter, try: 
  (other than: go to bios)

escape
delete
F12,
F2,
F1.

   Usually on one end or the other of the keyboard, as it boots up on 
the bios screen look for instructions at or near the bottom.
