Re: system configuration data updated ERROR

Going yet another direction with this...
You mentioned that you pressed f1 to continue and ran into the information

Did you ever go back and press f2? Sometimes going into setup (bios config)
with f2 and making sure the configuration is correct and saving the changes
could be just the fix.


Just saying.
