Put in new hard drive
Closed
Hello,
I just bought a new hard drive and when I turn the computer on, I get a black screen saying Press F1 or F2.
When I press F1, they say computer needs rebooting. F2 takes me straight to the systems page. I have an operating systems cd and when I run that it says hard drive can't be found. Can someone help me. I have a Dell Dimension 3100 bought in 2003.
