    The boot message should tell you, F1 to Continue F2 to enter setup or something like that...could be reversed on some MBs.

    What does your screen say?

    Press F1 next time and go into the Cmos. Make sure it has entries for time, floppy, etc. and then go to save settings. This will either be F10 or a menu item.
