    I messed up and put my problem in the wrong area and found this one to repost it so maybe I can get some assistance. I need to reinstall windows XP and I can't seem to remember how to get into the bios to change how my computer boots up. I have hit many F buttons and nothing has worked. This is a computer I built myself. Now this is serious I don't need or want any smart ass remarks save them for someone who cares. I am looking for real help to my problem.

    Thank you
