Hi. Suddenly a few days ago, my Dell Optiplex GX260 gets to the Dell
splashscreen, stays there for 10/15 seonds, then proceeds to a screen
which tells me that the hard dirve can't be found and that I should
press F1 to continue. I press F1 and booting continues as normal
except that once I am up and running I get no sound even though the
Dell reports that the sound device is working. What's going on? How do
I solve the boot up and sound problems?
