Howdy folks thanks in advance for the great service your providing!
Here's my problem: I have a slightly used Dell Optiplex GX1 pentium 450. It was running fine until I tried to add a second hard drive to it.
I've given up the 2nd drive idea for now but the machine isn't the same anymore.
I put the jumper back were it was originally and set everything back in the bios (Phoenix)the same --I believe-- but now the orignal Maxtor primary hard drive can't be found at all. here's the error message I'm getting:
"Primary hard disk drive 0 not found
strike the F1 key to continue or F2 to run the setup utility"
When I hit F1 I get the following error:
"PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: exiting PXE"
Well I've checked and rechecked the cable, tried a couple of different ones and no luck. It's getting power so it seems the power plug is fine...
Any suggestions? It's a good machine and I'd like to get it running... Thanks again--
