Reboot - make sure that the boot sequence is set to CD rom before HD and make sure that the reinstall CD is in the drive. Your system proabaly came set to 'RAID Autodetect / AHCI' - THIS SETTING CAUSES YOUR SYSTEM TO GO INTO AN IDE LOOP AND DOESN'T ALLOW IT TO FIND YOUR FACTORY INSTALLED SATA DRIVE.Д¬HANGE THE SATA OPERATION SETTING TO 'COMBINATION' Make sure that 'Drive 0: SATA-0' drive is set to 'ON' Make sure your Diskette Drive (3.5 floppy) is set properly (Usually set to Internal) In the System Setup screen, do these steps. Reboot your system and hit F2 as soon as you see the Dell startup screen (the options are F2 for setup, F12 for boot sequence). I eventually stumbled on the solution myself w/o dell's help. And by the way, 2 hours of tech support with Dell did nothing for me other than give me practice understanding Pakistan accents. I have the same system and just fixed the same problem. Everything worked fine until I put in the reinstallation disk. It dose this if I try repair also.Дell had me check the connections to the HD and Motherboard. And any disk related configuration is correct.ect. Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected.

Setup did not find any hard disk installed in your computer. I press enter and the following message comes up. 2 To repair XP press R 3 to exit without installing XP press F3 The next screen says welcome to setup and offers three options.

The windows setup screen appears and loads files. By the way Dell tech support's only response has been to say gee that's not right, and would send a tech sometime after Christmas. So I opened the ownerвЂ™s manual and got out the reinstallation disk and the problems began.
