How do I know if I have an scsi device?

I can’t reinstall windows – error msg on blue screen says I haven’t terminated scsi devices. Does a Dell XPS have and "scsi device?" I’ve never done any modifications (never been "under the hood." As far as peripherals: nothing unordinary – external firewire drive, printer… that’s about it? How do I find this scsi device (that I didn’t even know I had), and then how do I "properly terminate" it? Please help!
