Do you mean you could not access your BIOS when you
pressed those keys at boot time?
What is the make of your pc? 
Try del & F1?

Your computer, upon booting up, will tell you which key
to press to enter Setup, the file that tells the PC how
to configure itself. 

"The key is divulged in a short message that appears at
the bottom of the screen as the bootup process begins
and before the Windows splash screen appears. 

The message usually reads something like "To enter
setup press" and the name of the appropriate key. If
your computer does not give you the instruction, you
will have to experiment. 

Try the Esc, Del, F2 or F10 keys. If none works, call
the manufacturer of the computer."

Running Win XP.

This machine has always been able to boot from CD or
Floppy. Now it will not. Any ideas anyone?

Checked in Bios and tried F2 and F12. No change.
