PC wont boot?

i purchased a dell optiplex gx50 with a wiped hard disk(no operating system installed) and i am having a problem, i boot the computer with the windows xp cd in the drive and press f2(setup) nothing happens, i also tried f12(boot setup) and that does nothing either, it just says entering setup and stays that way, the boot screen just stays the same with the progress bar nearly full,what am i doing wrong, how can i enter the BIOS to change the boot orderPC wont boot?
this may or may not work depending on what if any partitions where completley wiped



on boot up hold the ctrl key and push f11 this should bring up the hidden restore image .



making the restoration much easier



again this will only work if this partition has not been deleted



good luckPC wont boot?
Did you try hitting the ';Delete'; key during boot up?

Let me know if it works.

I think Dell is f12 for boot options and f2 for bios, try f12 and then select your cdrom for boot device.



Oops i c u tried that already you might try a diff keyboard
The good thing about your computer is that Dell's Tech support is free for the life of the computer and it transfers to the new owners so phone their tech support and they will walk you through getting it up and running then once they have it up they will ask for control and when you grant it, they take control and fix your computer from where they are located.



I also have a Dell and they have done that for me with no charge.



Contact them via phone while sitting at your pc and they will walk you through it. No Charge!



Their tech support phone no. is 1-877-335-5767

or 1-800-847-4096 both toll free numbers. Have your computer product key ready they will need it to verify your ownership. It is on the sticker on the side of your tower.



If you just purchased it, they can also transfer the ownership to you at the same time.



Good Luck!
