BIOS screen res question

Hey all,

My name's Todd and I just have a quick question. I own a Compaq Armada 3500 and I was replacing the thermal grease on the processor and CPU and to do that I disassembled the entire unit. I removed the CMOS battery from the unit as well and since the system settings have been reset, my BIOS screen resolution has changed. My old setting was that the screen resolution for BIOS and command prompt screens were not taking up the entire screen but now as a default system setting they appear this way.

Allow me to demonstrate. The first attachment is a demonstration of what my old setting was but now my setting looks like the second attachment.

It's not a big deal but I'm just wondering if there's a way to change this. There aren't any function keys that I found work when booting up to access the BIOS settings.

Thanks,
Todd
