Have to press f1 at startup

[zangief]

I think I accidently changed something in the BIOS at the startup...When I start my computer I have to hit f1 to continue or del for options...How do I put it back to normal where I don't have to hit anything and have the computer just go straight and start up? Thanks.

You should see an error why you need to press f1. Something like missing floppy device or bad cmos battery or something different. You will need to fix that to get rid of the f1 prompt.

I'm not sure if this is it and I don't remember it word for word but on the screen it says something like

IDE Master: not found
IDE Slave: not found

and there is like 6 of them not found. Is that it?

Check all your connections to the hard drives to make sure they are tight, power and ide connections.
