After a replacing the main power source. My CPU starts up in DOS instead of Windows Vista - Why? How do I change the CPU to boot up in Vista? When the CPU starts up it ask me to press F1 to continue - then it finds Vista and opens up the operating system.
I did replace this CMOS battery before I replaced the main power source.
Do I need to take the CMOS battery out and reinsert it again?
Thanks for everyone's input. I have not solved the issue yet - I am all over the set up in utilities, and see most of the items everyone is suggesting.
Here is the order of information on the 1st screen in DOS (maybe this additional information will help us all)
Diskette drive 0 seek failure
Press F1 to continue, F2 to enter setup
I then press F2 to enter setup which takes me into the utilities - I have performed the suggestions given on this forum - I just haven't found the right configuration and I assume each time I make a change, I need to save to the CMOS battery.
