"No SCSI Boot Device Found" for Windows 2k on Dell PowerEdge 6300 Server
After I updated Windows via the auto-update feature for Windows 2000 it asked me to restart the server. I did so and now the server will not boot up.
There were no hardware changes, just ran Windows Update
The error messages are as follows:
--------------------------

yes, it's been working fine for a year or two right before the update and restart.
No, I did not update the BIOS.
I'll try to update the BIOS but if that doesn't work, i'll have to try this:

Everyone gets an assisted Answer for their effort.
I wasn't able to figure out what is actually causing the problem today, but now it's in the hands of Dell.
I'll let you guys know what they replaced.
