No I don't have the disk....Were you able to reformat without logging into windows?
Yes you hit one of the F* buttons on the startup screen which takes you to the boot menu and from there you have to re partition your hard drive and re install the operating system. Im not a techy or anything so i dont know the specifics as dell walked me through my issue.
Okay I'll check that out if the earlier suggestion doesn't work.
