When I choose the CD-ROM Device (not installed) as the first boot device thru the bios and attempt to boot, it simply comes up and says not boot device available and press F1 to try again or F2 for bios.īeen a while since I worked on a system this old and on one with a SCSI add-on card and HDD, two SATA drives on a add-on card, and a CD-ROM that is IDE. When I go into F12 it doesn't list the CD-ROM device whatsoever. When I go into the BIOS and look at the Boot Sequence, it shows CD-ROM Device (not installed). Dell optiplex GX270 wont boot floppy drive clicks on push of the start button with both the light in the power button flashing and the light to the right of it flashing green. Here's the setup:ĭisk 0 - 18 GB SCSI (Adaptec 29160N add-on card)ĭisk 0 is setup as the 18GB Page File using a SCSI adapter (for some reason).ĭisk 1 is setup as the boot HDD w/ the OS and is on SATA via a add-on SATA Card.ĭisk 2 is setup as a Data Drive with no programs installed and is SATA setup on the same add-on SATA Card as Disk 1.ĬD-ROM is setup on IDE1 (out of IDE1 and IDE2) and has no jumper being used. Attempt to install a 2.6 kernel (linux26) failed to find the SATA drives.
An install using the beta4 Debian Installer, booting from CD-ROM, was performed (). Working on an old Dell Optiplex for a friend. After three years of service, including supporting a web server and mail server, it was retired in November 2007, to become an Internet desktop running Ubuntu.
