After a power failure, when trying to reboot PC I accidentally hit F12 key and placed PC in a network boot mode. Now I cannot reboot and when I try I get this message: Network selected as first boot device for current boot. As this is a single PC not in any network it will not reboot and I have been unable to take it back out of Network boot mode. Any suggestions? Windows XP Home Edition

You need to get into the bios to change the boot order.

Tried to get to Bios at startup -- cannot seem to get there before I get that message about network selected as first boot device for current boot. Is there an F-key that will take me directly to Bios?

The Delete key is the most common one, you could also try F1, F2 or F3.
