I encountered the same problem... and am going around in circles... however since i've created a linux partition, I was eble to see the error bootlog txt file. I seems to have encountered multiple errors in some critical files in my case atleast... My question is, if i try restoring factory settings, will my ubuntu partition remain untouched? Its a pain doing every little thing all over again! HELP :smileysad:

Hey, Have you found a solution?

I am encountered this problem too after installing a operating system disc that dell gave. Should Dell Technician look at our questions and answer them as best as they can?

Anyone know please give me a solution!

Thanks
