    hp pavilion 533w desktop troubles

    I have an hp Pavilion 533w desktop computer. I am having trouble installing an original copy of Windows XP Pro on the computer. I get stuck when the computer asks me to choose. F1 to setup or F2 to resume. How do I get past this to finish the install?

    That's a bios issue. Did you press F1 and check the settings? Is the hard drive detected? Is the CD drive set first in the boot order?
