Cool Let's see if we can get your computer to boot again..

Scott,

You just gave me the BIOS brand name, the version usually is a series of numbers. That’s okay though as most AwardBIOS behave the same way.

The first thing you need to do is get back into your CMOS Configuration Utility to see if can boot again and get into your Operating System.

To get into you CMOS:

Turn on your computer and as soon as you see the first few characters on your monitor, press the DEL key. This should take you into your CMOS. Now, (depending on you CMOS version number, you may see several “F” function keys at the bottom of your screen “F5” usually will load your setup defaults.

If F keys are not there, then Navigate to the “Exit” menu and click on it. On the Drop Down that follows you should see a selection that says “Load Setup Defaults” this should load the factory default for your computer and erase any mistakes you might have made in you CMOS.

Rebooting should allow you to open your Operating System.

If this works, please post back so we can address any other problems you may have.

Good luck,

Jon

P.S. I am afraid I have another BIOS question for you. Can you tell me the BIOS Brand and number for you RAID controller. If it’s a Promise RAID controller, do you have the “Lite BIOS Version?”
