    Exclamation Novice needs some help...

    I am fairly new to the hardware end of things. Most of my experience is simple web pages and home PC stuff. Anyway....

    I inherited a Dell PowerEdge 4200. I had it working, was on line with it an what not, then we moved. I went to boot it up yesterday, and it froze after selecting the VGA option. So I attempted to reboot... I then got the message "No SCSI Boot Device Found" "SCSI BIOS not installed" It then says Operating System not found. What happened?

    It could be one of your SCSI cables got jarred loose.


    Take a look inside the box (once turned off) and make sure all power cables, SCSI/IDE cables are connected, and that the SCSI card (if PCI) is properly seated in its slot.
    Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. -Douglas Adams
