re-installed xp, now it will only boot up manually(press F1 to initialize
boot) How do I fix this?

When I turn on the computer, instead of automatically going through boot up
and going to the sign-in, I have a black screen and I have to press F! to
boot up the computer.

Two possibilities
1. Bios settings
2. Everything else, including multiboot software-- and possibly some sort of
spyware/virus.
