have a dell dimension E510. I press the power button and when the loading thing is done, it says floppy failure. (i never had a floppy drive) then i press F1 to continue it says, cant find boot device press F1. I keep pressing F1 and the same message keeps apearing. Also, how do you activate the symantec system restore? is it CTRL + F11? I tried that at the start up and it dosent work. Thanks!

Hmm, strange. It sounds like the settings in the bios were changed. You need to go into setup to enter the bios, and change the boot priority back to your hdd. Also, you should go in and remove floppy from the device list.
