I can't boot my Dimension 4300 from the OS CD and I think I know why -- the
BIOS says Unknown Device next to where the Hardrive should be and the same
for the CD Rom. How can I enter these?
Thanks so much.
 
Hi,

Are they both on the same cable? You might have a bad cable, or the
detection settings are not correct. Keep in mind that with an ATA66 or
higher drive you need to use an 80 wire cable, not a 40 wire one.
