Its all depends on your bios version but basically you need to press F12 or F2 When it starts up. Its the key to access your boot / configuration manager. you can choose your first booting device from the boot menu. NDK
The NumLk key also doubles up as the ScrLk key and it is located near the F12 function key. When the NumLk key has been pressed the NumLk LED will also light up.
You can't. Generally speaking, the special "F"unction key PC laptops have cannot be modified by the user. They are this way by design, because the normal F1-F12 keys have very different functions than the "F" keys (in Windows and in any highlighted program/windows in a given moment) and you can't possibly change this, ehm, "tradition" of the Windows (or even DOS!) platform....
I had the same problem and it looks like you can change this setting within the BIOS. It's called Action Keys, and apparently HP thought its users would rather press Fn to use F1-F12 than pressing Fn to change the brightness and such. Here's an HP article I used to change this on a Presario CQ56-115DX. Just use the directions and disable Action Keys
