Error 0x0000007B

reinstalling your OS will surely fix this problem but you can try to first issue fixboot of fixmbr commands on windows recovery console.

to go to recovery console, you need your OS cd...
1. put it on your top drive (if you two or more)
2. reboot the computer and press F12 on Dell splash screen.
3. choose the option that contains CDROM on it then press enter
4. you should press any key immediately when you see the screen, press any key to continue.
5. you'll have a blue screen with bunch of stuff that is loading, wait until you can see press enter to install, r for repair or f3 to quit.
6. press r, then if it ask you what windows installation you want to logon, press 1
7. it might ask you for a password, usually you just press enter here if you don't have any password
8. you should have the prompt c:\windows> if you're on the right screen.
9. now type fixboot c: ~or~ fixmbr
10. type exit to restart your computer

if you want to reinstall you OS and if your computer was purchase after 2005 you can use PC Restore.. during Dell splash screen, press CTRL+F11, follow the on-screen instruction and you'll be able to reinstall your OS in just 10-15 mins...

if it will not work, then manually reinstall your OS, you need at least your OS cd and resource cd... (press enter on step 5 above)

please be reminded that reinstalling your OS might cause you to lose data.
