Its either f6 f8 f12 f9 i cant remember i always press all of them
one of them is correct (during start up)

apologies for lame reply but it works for me

hitting the DEL key at the right moment should work, on some systems it is F2, or F10 on some compaqs, you could also try F12. On some older computers I just used to put my whole hand on the keyboard pressing as many keys as I could and then turned on the computer, it would error out on the keyboard and tell me if I wanted to enter setup. Hope this helps. As far as the format thing, just put a bootable windows xp cd in and us the setup to format your drive. You could delete the partitions first. Remember when you delete partitions or format, you data will be gone too.

so ur saying that ur comp doesn't detect any floppies when it first boots and skips right to win2000?

wat's ur mobo brand and perhaps ur bios/cmos brand as well?
