Does it give you an error message when asking you to press F1 to boot to Windows? It is very likely a setting error - since you just configured your system, you can try resetting your CMOS by taking out the round tablet battery on your motherboard for about five minutes, then reinserting it. That will clear to default setting - settings which should not require any key response to boot.

I tried to look at the manual but the company wanted a serial number for the board before it would let me view it....shooting from the hip then .... betcha if you go into BIOS and uncheck/turn off check for floppy drive that your F1 issue would go away. Assuming your diagnosis is accurate of course.
