Boot problem

by johnscamera . Updated 17 years, 7 months ago

I have a Fujitsu Lifebook running XP Home edition.
The last two times when I tried to turn on my computer the screen read “No Operating System Found”.
I thought at first that I might be having a Hardrive crash.

However, both times after frantically going through different screens I got the computer to boot by using F9 hotkey (I think) in some kind of special mode (F12 maybe?).

I am suspicious that recent update downloads from Microsoft may have something to do with this, as before I had not had this issue ever come up, and I have made no other changes or software additions, that would account for this to start happening.

QUES:
1. How can I change the BIOS permantly so that the unit will boot without me having to go through all kinds of screens to get it to boot?

2. Has anyone heard of Windows XP updates causing boot problems?
