Dimension 4700, Strike F1 to continue
Everytime I boot the Dimension 4700 I have to hit the F1 key. I updated the BIOS but that didn't help. This used to be an intermitant problem and now it happens everytime I boot the computer. The error message says it can't find the boot device.
Phoenix BIOS
Drive 1 Not Found
Serial ATA Sata-2
Strike F1 to continue, F2 to enter setup

Jerboa:
You need to hit F2, then configure your drives in the BIOS. Obviously, the BIOS thinks you have something connected to SATA 2. If there's a drive connected there, it may not be recognized by the system. If there is no drive connected to SATA 2, then turn that port off.

Change your CMOS battery. This is a CR2032 coin cell battery on the mother board. Before you do make a note of your bios settings. The best way to do that is to use a digital camera to snap a pix of each page.
