    Hate to say it, guys, but I think he found CTRL-F11 and is long since done restoring.

    A repair install would have been a good choice but he didn't have a CD and didn't seem worried about losing data.

    Hopefully, he will post back.

        Glad that you're back in business! :)

        It's still a good idea to get the recovery disks from Dell or see if it is possible to make your own from the recovery partition on your hard drive. If your hard drive fails, the recovery partition will be inaccessible.

        I just read more post replies here and if you use recovery disk...once in windows you could always install a software like Norton Go Back and then that would take you back to the last successful boot up if needed.

        Hate to dissapoint you but this will not work after the fact...
        Go Back would have needed to be installed prior to the point where he started having issues.
