    Dell Laptop won't boot

    Since I don't have the Vista CD, just suppose I bought a Windows 7 CD. Could I install it over Vista and have a working computer? Thanks.

    Dell Laptop won't boot

    Thanks. I don't have the Vista CD, but will look into repair/update drivers without booting. Any suggestions anyone?

    Dell Laptop won't boot

    To access safe mode I have to first access advance boot menu via F8. I've tried that, but F8 does nothing. Thanks anyway! Any other ideas? Phil

    Dell Laptop won't boot

    I have a Dell inspiron 1525 laptop that's out of warranty and won't boot.l It starts, displays the dell logo, then dies - black screen with flashing cursor at upper left. It passes pre-POST diagnostics, has a new battery. I've done an fdsk; hard drive's okay. OS is Vista Home Premium. Any ideas...
