Safemode

I am working on a computer that has the recovery disk on a partitioned
drive. I have tried the f8, and f10 key to go into safe mode or reinstall
the operating systems but nothing comes up. Does anyone know how to access
the recovery software on the partitioned drive. I know that f10 brings up
the operating system on the hp computers but this is an off brand name but
the operating system is on the partitioned drive.

Thanks
