When it is starting first screen coming up with "Press ctrl i to enter configuration utility" after 2-3 sec this sceen goes away and windows gets start.
I am not sure why this "Press ctrl i to enter configuration utility" coming up. How it can be removed or resolved.
Anyone can help me on this?

@Ketanbhatt -- some motherboards have a "RAID" (Rapid Array of Independent Disk-Drives) capability.
With RAID, you can create a "set" of 2 disk-drives that automatically store IDENTICAL content.
When one disk-drive fails, the other disk-drive still contains all your files, and your computer will still work. You should immediately shutdown, remove the failed disk-drive, and install a replacement. The RAID software will copy everything from the "good" disk-drive onto the new disk-drive, to re-establish this "mirroring" process. Without RAID, if your one disk-drive were to fail, kiss goodbye to your Personal Files.
If you never want to use RAID, enter BIOS SETUP, and change one option from "RAID" to "AHCI".
That will hide that "press ...." message. Of course, if you later want to use RAID, change that option back to "RAID", to restore that "press ..." message. Then, enter that "RAID Setup" mode, and build a "set" of RAID-disks.
