I have an older dell and it won't boot. as soon as the network boot screen appears it goes to a sceen that says press F1 to retry boot, Press F2 for utility setup when I go to the utility setup it says there is no hard disk drive installed...The dell was working fine about 1 hour prior and when it was turned on after booting a blue screen appeared saying something about memory dump I believe. it restarted and now the thing won't boot at all

the most important part of troubleshooting you problem was all the numbers and error message on the bsod ,not the memory dump.
you harddrive may have died if the bios no longer sees it ,
