I bought a Dell optiplex GX280 Small Desktop With no hard drive.
It has Pentium 4 HT 2.8GHZ
But I have just one question which you may be able to help me with.
I have bought a new hard drive for this machine and plugged it in. the bios recognises the HDD.
My problem is that i cant install an OS from Cd or usb. I have tried a lot of disks and different OS systems including Win xp, win 7 and Ubuntu.
The system comes up with 2 errors. "Selected boot device not available - strike F1..", "invalid system Disk _ Replace the disk then press any key"
Ive tried changing the boot order and disabled floppy drive (because i dont have one) in bios
would love to get this compy working. Any help or advice would be much apprieciated.
Kind Regards
Sam
