I just bought a new LG LCD 19" monitor and I am having Boot up
problems. I contacted LG Electronics and they say that the issue I am
having is not related to the Monitor.

Problem:

W XP won't do continuous boot-up unless I manually press F1 key.
I want to eliminate this nuissance step. How do I do that ?

Here is the Boot up sequence that occured after
installing LG Monitor. First screen to appear is the Dell
screen....8250 Series etc etc.Then it moves to a black DOS looking
screen ( this is the part that is new) with message in white letters
where it stays forever until I hit the F1 key then it resumes normal
boot up. Info on DOS looking screen is this: Has copyright info and
ID's Phoenix ROM Plus version. Then it IDs Dell and the series number
of the computer 8250 Then it says: Primary Hard Disc Drive 1 not
found. Strike the F1 key
to continue F2 to run the Set Up utility When I strike F1 boot up
resumesand proceeds normally. How do I eliminate this need to strike
the F1key every time I boot-up?

Press F2 to correct the setting that is causing this behavior. Some
of the proprietary computers are very confining when it comes to
upgrading.

There are too many variables, (video chip/RAM etc) to give a
concise answer.

Testing hardware failures often involves swapping out suspected parts
with known-good parts. If you can't do the testing yourself and/or are
uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigStoreUSA).
