Your corporate Firewall is denying access. I don't know what this site is or does, but you can put in a request to allow access with your IT guy or use it at home.

Check with the manufacturer first, they could save you lots of time figuring out the problem. There are so many things that can make a computer do this, that it is much easier to take your computer to an expert and allow them to run a diagnostic on it, a lot of the box stores do this now for a reasonable price, as well as your local computer stores. Who ever you choose, make sure you understand how they are going to go about it, if it is simply replacing parts to which works, don't use them! The problem could be simple to complex. Depending upon your ability, you can get into bios by hitting the f2 key when requested, then looking into the bios and seeing if your hard drive is ok, are your other drives showing up, etc. Good luck, Curt

Use Acronis True Image Home to do this www.acronis.com You want to "Clone Disk"

Best is to find a support or systems engineer on http://www.qual.ch if you are in Switzerland and for the UK you can find find a top Dell expert or systems specialist on http://qualifind.co.uk -- I just asked one (from Qualifind) and was informed you just need to install Openmanage and clear the logs from there, no need to down the server.

ntldr is part of the Master boot Record (MBR) it is used in conjunction with other files to allow the OS to interact with the Kernel. you can copy the MBR record but it is specific to each PC so your options are rebuild server or restore from a backup I would recommend back up as all additional settings will be applied still.

Many routers fail because they do not support the DHCP option. Any CISCO product running ISO 12.2 and above has that ability. Contact CISCO for the PXE assignment.

Same solution as posted before if you need to boot from a DVD: take a Dell laptop CD/DVD combo drive, remove the screws and all and exchange the PowerVault CD drive unit with it. Same internal connector. Can't remember what model I stuck in, but I had to keep the front panel of the drive since it was slightly different, I probably could have glued it, but.... That's a server machine no one is ever going to see but me! :)

That also gave me a CD-Burner which is a decent addition in case you need to quickly burn a CD/make a backup/boot disk (like a "ultimate Windows CD" boot to fix anything that could go wrong).

the screen rem... ??

This suggests that the internal battery needs replacing.

That means you have corrupted files on your Hard drive, Use the recovery partition to deal with that if your computer has that, If not you might need to take it to the shop
