    Hey, Its a long story, i reset the raid array in my m17x and I forgot to take out the fallout 3 CD. So i could not install an OS. So i was stuck in bios and with a slot loaded drive I couldn't get the disk out. i finally got it out using linux. But now I have no OS. Can anyone please help me. I have never installed a new OS before. Thanks. Right now the resource cd is in and it is just sitting there saying booting from local disk. But nothing is happening.

    Thanks for any help.
