fedora 12 and XP


Hello

I have dual boot and every time I turn on my systen, the system asks for " F1: Save changes" and after clicking on "F1" button it saves the changes and then boots. I wonder what is wrong with my system?

thanks

Something in BIOS, obviously. No OS is up and running, so it's not a Fedora or XP problem. So you've probably got a component going bad, memory has come unseated, etc.

Bad bios battery?

It would be unlikely that it has any OS related issue. It is really bios or bios settings.
