Problems Loading Windows on M15x
I am having a problem with my Windows 7 on my M15x Laptop, getting the error "Windows Error Recovery" when it starts up. It gives me 2 options, "Launch Startup Repair" and "Start Windows Normally". Choosing either of these options brings me back to the same page. I called Dell Support, but i didnt get much info on what i can do. Please Help.

restart the pc and keep tapping ESC or DELETE and load the disc from the CD-ROM.

Restart your PC keep tapping F8 unti you see the Advanced Boot Options Screen highlight Last Known Good Configuration (Advanced) and hit Enter. Did windows start up?

You're going to need to reinstall the OS.

Go back to Advanced Boot Options Screen and select Safe Mode and hit Enter. Did you load into safe mode?

Your M15x didn't come with a reinstall disc?

restart tapping F2 to enter bios and goto the boot menu and set the 1st boot device to cd-rom then goto the exit menu and exit the bios by selecting save changes.

did you put your hard drive to where the cd-rom was in the boot menu in the bios?
