Help, please! Message strike F1 continues...

Reminder: Our Dell Dimension 2400 was overloaded and crashed on the replacement furniture Dell 80 GB Seagate Barracuda hard drive. I replaced the HD with a Western Digital 160 GB 7200 Caviar. Dell messages, and configuration of the Bios Setup has recognized the new hard disk that passes Diagnostics.

To load an operating system, Dell kindly immediately sent me a set of replacement for CD for my little ones displaced. I changed the boot sequence in the BIOS Setup to boot from the CD first. Reinstalling OS CD will not start upward, and yourself the Strike F1 or F2 for setup message appears. F1 does not. The keyboard has not received an error and working on the Dell.

Error message that only appeared on the disk, so I changed the settings of the BIOS on 'Not installed' for the floppy drive.

The lights are all green until the message of F1/F2, then fourth amber lights! Light number four is what about the cables needing to be reset, so I replaced each IDE cable and reset each cable and cards RAM also...

The beeps are short of breath of 2 separate beeps the F1/F2 message appears.

F12 diagnostics have passed each of the current discs. All components of the configuration in the configuration are recognized...  To isolate the problem the cable or component, I untied each and checked for the error messages, then replaced each and then confirmed that each has been recognized in the Bios, set up.

If this had been quite the tech oddessey.

Suite led forums, I changed the battery CMOS (investment of $1.98), bought a different memory card (512 MB) RAM incase the original 256 RAM was bad... but it works and is also recognized.

I'm trying to clear the NVRAM at this moment... by changing the jumpers on the motherboard as DELL instructed on a link... the keystroke alt +...

ANY OTHER POSSIBILITIES?

1 million thanks in advance for the help!
