F12 works to select boot device usually ( keep hitting it at start)
else sue <del> or F1 to go into bios setup then to boot device order and put the CD first
while booting press F2 to enter to bios setup.
in the main tab go to Boot Features.
the first point in Boot Features is POET Errors will be "Halt On All Errors" then you have to change it to "No halt On Any Errors"
Could be a problem with your system BIOS, enter the setup while your computer is booting (before it gets to windows) by hitting the F12 key probably. Make sure that the boot order is HDD first, not something else.
The new series of Intel G1 stepping Pentium 4 processors (Prescott) is not backwards compatible with all the latest BIOS versions for OptiPlex systems.
darian69, windows did not setup correctly. Double check all data cables & power cable connections. (Tight fits).
(This is not an uncommon error). Please download the manufactures drive utility software for a bootable floppy disk or bootable cdrom disk. Test/check & setup the drive, (formatt). Than install windows. Once installed, turn on windows firwall & install nic driver software. Run windows update. Check for hardware updates & install. This should fix the system halt.
Please let me know if this stopped the error message.
