I'm have finished building my first pc today and every time I try to boot up it keeps coming up with reboot and select boot drive I have tried to fix this myself by googling it and my problem seem a bot unique as I am unable to get into the bios as the screen for that is on on screen for a split second and if I do press the button in time it just takes me to a black screen with a little white dash in the top left corner please help me!! Thanks

It means that you don't have any partition in your hard drive that has an operating system on it. Also it maybe that your motherboard couldn't detect your hard drive. F1, F2, F10, DEL, and ESC are the common keys to get in the BIOS.

If you are see actual text on the screen that says "reboot and select boot drive" then your system is basically "working"...

Given that single bit of information, you can and will be able to get into the BIOS. Try the procedure I list of rebooting and HOLDING Down the key,
- but try "F1" instead of "Del"....
- NOTE: there is typically a "Del" (in the number pad, turn OFF "Num Lock" and try again...if it's LED light is on)
- NOTE: there is also typically a "Delete" key, try that in your re-boot sequence too...

- but try "F2" instead of "F1"...
- but try "F10" instead of "F2"....
- but try "ESC" instead of "F10".....

- F1, F2, F10, DEL, and ESC (basically it is ONE of these keys, we just need to try each one till we get it right.

ALSO, gotta ask, you do have a keyboard and it's plugged into the computer. AND, there are at least a couple LED lights lite on that keyboard?
