Title: Hit F1 to Continue
Post by: cinadhel on July 21, 2004, 08:37:41 AM

Good day everyone!

I know just enough to be dangerous and I can't remember if I made the change but now I have to hit F1 to continue during the boot process.  How do I disable or bypass the F1 to continue.

Thanks for any support anyone can give me.

Try tapping the DEL key instead of F1, see if it puts you into BIOS setup, and correct the apparent error. The 'DEL for SETUP, or press F1 to continue' message occurs if you have an error in Power On Self Test (POST). Also see if there's an error message along with the 'F1 to continue' message, perhaps a CDROM or hard drive or something isn't set right or has quit.
