| 788014 | 2009-07-02 03:56:00 | First boot device is HDD, then CDROM. From what I've read it seems like a network problem, I don't see anything booting before HDD in BIOS. Tried opening it up and made sure the HDD cables are connected, they were definitely in tight, but that didn't work. Can't find a way to reset BIOS either. what else can I do? |

| 788015 | 2009-07-02 04:04:00 | Disable boot from network ROM in the BIOS | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 788016 | 2009-07-02 04:19:00 | If it's already set to boot off the HDD first, but is still trying to boot off the NIC, it implies that the HDD is not in a bootable state. Does it detect the HDD in the BIOS at all? | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 788017 | 2009-07-02 04:26:00 | Ok I disabled NIC from the boot list and now I get this instead.. Speedy, there was floppy, cdrom, nic and hdd. I only disabled nic. inphinity, it does detect the hdd. BTW, F1 just repeats the question. |

| 788018 | 2009-07-02 04:31:00 | Translation: The HDD is saying it's stuffed. This may be a file system issue, or a hardware fault. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 788019 | 2009-07-02 04:41:00 | Nah the network rom option will be in / under another menu, not in the boot menu | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 788020 | 2009-07-02 04:44:00 | are you sure it's not simply just a screwed hdd? if not, where do I find the network rom options? |

| 788021 | 2009-07-02 04:54:00 | Could be both. Look under all the menus. I dont know what the model is, so dont know whats in the BIOS | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 788022 | 2009-07-02 05:10:00 | Go into the BIOS - reset it back to default settings, there will be the key combination listed. Several other sites report various fixes . ( no idea if they will work or Not - Never tried) 1.The First Replyin this Dell forum (en.community.dell.com) 2.Boot up in 'safe' mode and remove the Realtek controller in the Device Manager. If that doesn't work try These steps (www.helpero.com) |
