The F12 screen

While going through the process of figuring out what was wrong with my Inspiron 531s, the DELL tech had me tap on the F12 key while the machine was booting. This in turn brought up a screen that listed the drives and indicated the Drive 0 was not detected and in the lower left portion had press the F1 key to continu booting or the F2 key to go into the BIOS setup.

Since the fix required a full reformat and reinstallation of Windows XP, which was completed, each time the machine boots up this same screen comes up requiring me to press F1 to continue the boot up process.

Is there some way to keep this page/screen from coming up.
