I am working on a friends computer that is really screwed up. His operating system was corrupt so I reinstalled Windows XP.
The computer is a HP Pavilion zv5000 laptop. To bootup anything, CD or harddrive, I have to press F1 after the little HP screen pops up. How can I stop it from doing that.
I reflashed the BIOS to the most updated version, yet it still won't boot up until I press F1.
Not only does it require f1 to boot, after it would boot to hard drive, it would give me a black screen with the little white vertical bars on the bottom and take about 2 minutes to completely fill the bars. Then it would give me the XP Home Edition load up screen, which was also slow. Once as I got into XP though, the thing ran fast as any computer I have ever used.
I am also completely erasing the as I am typing this using AutoClave.
What can I do to get rid of the F1 bootup? And how can I make sure the XP loads up fast?
Thanks
