PBR is the Partition Boot Record.
There might be something wrong with your hard-disk.
Follow the steps below:
Start->Run. Type cmd.
In the command-prompt window, type chkdsk /f. Press Enter.
( Note: The scan will take place on next reboot, so you might be prompted for restart.)

I can't even boot the computer.  It just gets to this point and stops

Can you get to the Dell diagnostics (f12 at boot)?

I'm also having this same problem on a Dell Dimension 3000.  It normally runs a prime number generation program off in the corner.  I shut it down last night and everything was just fine.

 

Tonight I decided to boot and start the work up again and now I get this error message.  One minute it is working, I let the machine sit powered off, and now it won't work.  Go figure.

 

I'm able to get into diagnostics (F10).  I have yet to see any errors but they are still running.

 

If everything looks good where should I go from here?

 

Thanks!
