Well I downloaded the latest BIOS from Dell since that is where the machine came from but now the system does not recognize any HDD so I am trying to figure out how to fix lots of hardware problems. It seems like the BIOS I got from Dell has a big bug(!?). I get blue screens and nothing wants to work.
Would you know how to excess the kernel or is it in the BIOS and remove either the NT or Solaris?
Thanks.
