My hardrive crashed and I replaced it with a new one. I installed XP SP2. Problem is that in order for me to boot from the CD I had to disable booting from the hardrive in setup (F2). Now I have to enable hard drive boot again but I never see the flash message that says hit F2 to setup. So now I have to hit escape immediately on every boot at the "splash window", which then allows me to choose the hard drive as the boot disk. Is there anyway to change this in windows or does any one have any suggestions . It is driving me crazy.

Tried just pressing repeatedly the F2 (or other proper) key as soon as the computer is starting?
