Hi

That means its finding your cd drive but NOT your hard drive.... have a look in the bios at BOOT ORDER...

Hi, if I remember correctly from my previous job, that model uses one of those small mini sata drives, and a connector that doesn't sit so well.
If you don't see inside the bios (f2), then I would suggest opening it up and verifying that the connection to the hard drive is okay, and reseat it anyhow.

Okay, I was wrong. But here is the diagram on how to get at the hard drive.
It is the D630 Service Manual: http/support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/latd630/en/SM_EN/hdd.htm#wp1113039
