error on boot

hello everyone,

everytime i boot up my computer, after it does the bios and right before it starts loading the operating system (winXP), i get a message "press a key to reboot"....after i press a key and reboot windows loads fine, but its annoying to have to reboot the computer every time i start it up...thanks

Send a message via AIM to melloman
Do you have your machine's BIOS set to check floppy or CD first? some boards give that message when media is in the drives, but is not bootable. Try to see if you get that message with nothing in any drive.
