I think maybe its the RAID too....but it was funny as it did initially boot. ugh... I will call them on Monday. If not I may have to reinstall XP with the Disks that came with the computer. I guess Dell could walk me thru that. What a waste.

I do have a photo I took on my iphone of the error it is here MobileMe Gallery

I went to work today and tried the 2 Vista disks I had. One booted and one didn't. They were BOTH brand new IN the envelope! So what I ended up doing is installing Vista (an upgrade not custom) then installing windows 7 -32 bit (again, upgrade). (even tho I really WANTED 64 bit) All went well...

Goodmorning Saltgrass, I tried making the dvd the boot drive by putting it first in line, the computer just booted to the hard drive instead. Incidentally, in the 'list' in the bios- it does not 'say' its a DVD it says USB or CDROM- it only says DVD in the description of the drive. Maybe I...

After doing some more research, could it be that I ONLY have a dvd and not a cdrom? Could the DVD drive be on the wrong part of the cable (master vs. Slave?) and if so...which is which? (which part of the cable is master) I am ready to go buy a secondary dvd player and try that!

I work for Habitat for Humanity and we received the disk thru a company called TechSoup (but it came from Microsoft) there are 2 disks, a 32 and a 64 bit. they say: Microsoft Windows 7 Pro 32 bitx86 Upgradee: Pre-existing OS License Required (Volume License Product Key Required) (then I have a...

The array is actually a RAID type One (two drives that are mirrored) When I tried the 32 bit disk I put in the disk, restarted, chose F12 when booting. My options are, in order: Onboard or USB CD ROM Drive Intel Array USB I chose the first option and I got : Selected Boot Device not...

Hi All, I have a new Dell Precision T3400 which the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor says I can run the 64 bit version of Windows 7 on. Unfortunately I am running XP pro 32 bit version on it. Dell told me I would need to run my 64 bit disc by hitting F12 when rebooting to boot to the disk. The...
