Hi,
My name is Todd and I'm with Dell's online outreach program. Try booting into the BIOS (system setup) and see whether the system is recognizing the hard drive.

I have the same problem but when I go to setup to check the order of drives it says the hard drive and cd ROM are not installed. Does the hard drive need replaced? Please help ....I am not a computer person!
I'm hard of hearing, so i'm not aware of how many beeps i got, so this may not be any help: but when i was getting the "Strike F1 to try reboot F2 for Setup" message, I didn't know what to do, so, I tried switchin the cables around, changing CD-ROM drive....the last thing I tried was changing harddrive, that got me to at least the Windows 2000 Set-up that i'm on now......HOPEFULLY i will be able to get the whole thing set up

I listened to it again and it is 2 quick beeps like "beep-beep". I also tried replacing the lithium battery, as was suggested by the earlier post, but that still didn't solve it. I also tried removing the RAM and that didn't work either.
I had already looked at the beep codes before posting on the site. They don't seem to help too much because none of the beeps match.
Please advise.
Thnaks
I checked and it is listing all the drives (hard drive, CD, floppy). But it is still giving the error.
