I have been given a dell optiplex gx260 to see if i can do anything with it, when i switch it on, i get 2 beeps and then it says no boot up device available press f1 or f2. When i go into the bios, it asks for a password, i just press enter, it says password incorrect but then lets me in anyway, and then says there is no ide hardrive installed when there is. Also i cannot instal my windows or change the boot sequence. Please help?
