Have you tried changing the boot order.

If you're trying to use it as a boot device you need to tell the system to boot the cd /dvd drive FIRST and of course you need to have a bootable cd / dvd in the drive.

Let me know if you're already tried this.

hello,i cannot change the bios only update it,but be carefull if you do not have experience with this search on the net or call a professional because you can damage your system,regarding your request write down the bios version and check it on the internet if your bios has update(on the official site) and follow the instructions.

You need a card like this

The hard disk is totally dead, replace it. If you get the same message with a new disk then the southbridge is faulty, you will need a new motherboard.

HELLO Paul

When installing memory modules in the system board sockets and not using the optional memory riser boards, observe the following guidelines:

• Each memory socket on the system board must be occupied either by a RIMM or a CRIMM.
  
  
• Memory sockets must be upgraded in matched pairs. In other words, two sockets in a pair must contain modules of identical capacity, number of components, and speed. See "System Board Memory Components" to identify pairs of sockets.
  
  
• Mixed pairs of ECC and non-ECC modules all function as non-ECC.
  
  
• Be sure to install a RIMM in socket 1 first (closest to the processor) before installing modules in the other sockets.
  
  
• The system board supports PC600 and PC800 memory modules.

this 2007 year PC OLD, has many limits (CORE 2 is one) is this windows 10? 64bit> I bet not its CORE 2 old) I came with VISTA if MS loaded OS, or XP or RedHat Linux? what boot menu are you talking about.? F12? wild guess me, VISTA OS: (now zero support) in windows, we have disk manager, do all devices show up now? this is first, if not here, explorer can not work. lets do the correct order: 1: bios sees my media. (good) 2: then in device manager, it sees them, if not drivers bad. 3: then Diskmanager sees the devices, and must have drive letter or next. if letters missing right click device and add one. 4: explorer (This PC) fails to find it. if above fails sure. easy as 1,2,3,4 order, matters. can't see CD does that mean a disk or the whole drive? cant See HDD, is this HDD0 ,1,2, 3 or? how many HDD do you have, and are there SSD drives there and last what SATA ports are you using, some are limited. here is your DELL.com support page, (12 years later still here) https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/precision-t7400/drivers what HDD fails, does the PC boot at all? my wild guess NO. what OS what OS do you want to run, that be first thing to ask on any 2007 old PC, as Windows 10 will fail here. I Bet. for sure 64bit.

Could be a faulty psu or disk drive - suggest test both

If not data on the flash drive I suggest try reformatting the drive to remove any malware

Many Dell can be a bit funny about exactly what RAM they will accept == check what other owners say on the Dell website user forums ..

At power-on, use F12 (or F8) and select 'Repair' ... DO NOT let it 'reformat' your drive or you will loose everything .. If that fails, you may have to choose 'Factory Restore', but this will re-install Windows and you will LOOSE EVERYTHING !! SO == if you have another PC, I suggest move your disk drive to that other PC and copy off all your photos/music/videoa etc you don't want to loose before doinbg a Factory Restore ..

It's simple. If you still have a problem please take a look at manual in pdf file for this dell t3500. You can find it here for example: User manual for Dell T3500

Windows 10 is new and still in testing phase, new patches are released to fix bugs almost everyday. try running an update, make sure your hardware was compatible and the OS is installed properly, you do have the option to roll back if you want to. call 1-877-805-1027 for expert help.

PCProtect is malware. What is PCProtect exe . I would boot up in Safe Mode again, or Normal if you have to, and bring up Task Manager again (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and check to see if explorer.exe is running. If not, Click on File in the Task Manager toolbar, select New Task (Run), and type explorer.exe in the Open box and click OK. If all goes well, your icons and Start Menu will appear and you can start cleaning up. Otherwise, you could try again and type appwiz.cpl in the Open box to bring up the Programs and Features to remove any bad programs you may find. Malware removal can takes years of experience, so I will leave it at that to try for a starting point.

Boot the node up and go into the bios settings, its either f1 or more common f2. Look to see if the hdd is listed. If so try to boot up. If that fails it's time to do a little diagnostics. Get another hdd of the same type and plug it in to see if it boots up. If it does then get a new hard drive. Just something else to try before putting the 2nd hdd in, take the cover off the computer and locate the hard drive and unplug the plug back in the ribbon cable and power connection.

Remove the BIOS battery, wait a minute the replace it
