No bootable devices
Hey,
Someone else used my inspiron 510m and now when i turn it on i get "loading PBR for descriptor 2...failed." When I press a few random keys I get "No bootable devices--strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility"
I havn't got a clue what to do, and I'm useless with computers.
Please help somebody!

If it is then you will have to try fixing it by booting off your XP CD, going into the restore console and trying to commands fixboot and/or fixmbr.

No, they're all enabled.
This is getting frustrating!
Thanks for your suggestions though, any more ideas?

That's good!
I suggest that you try using the fixboot and/or fixmbr command from the restore console.
