That's the problem.... With one of the 6400R's it went exactly as you said.
I went through all those steps and it works just fine. With the other one,
though, I never get to that point. I get the "Loading Smart Start" screens
and prompts, but after a minute or so, I get a message that Windows needs to
be reinstalled. If I click "OK", it then shows me the name of a file on the
"S: drive that is missing. I can't get past that point....

Is there anything equivalent to "Del" or F2 to load and edit the BIOS? Or a
battery I can pull to do the "lobotomy"?

Hello Hank,

I have never seen this S: drive issue before, but if you boot from the CD
and let it take you to the point where you see a number of utilitites
(Array
Configuration Uitility, Update System Partition, etc) you should see a
System Erase Utility. This will give the machine the labotomy you are
seeking. If the server has an array controller installed, it will also
wipe
out the disk config and you will loose any information on the drives. It
will also clear the NVRAM so you can start afresh. If, for some reason,
you
arent seeing this tool, you can also DL the program and run it from a
floppy
disk.

let us know if you need anything else,
