UNSOLVED
Booting Issue
Hi, I have an Inspiron N4050. Recently while switching on after the Dell logo screen an error message is showing which goes like "Boot drive = 80, not CD". Also, a warning " MBR Cylinders (1024) is not equal to the BIOS One (1023)". and I have to keep pressing enter to boot up the laptop.
I tried installing a new BIOS Driver. But the problem persists.

Hi Gorgeous7,
I would suggest you to update the BIOS on the system. Please enter your service tag # on the link below, select the operating system, and then download the BIOS from the BIOS section onto the system and install it.
Let us know your findings.

Hi Gorgeous7,
I would advise that you load defaults in the BIOS. Please follow the steps mentioned below to load the BIOS to defaults.
- Reboot the computer.
- When prompted during POST, press the key to enter the setup screen.
- On the System Setup screen, press the key.
Press the key on Yes to Load Optimized Defaults and restart the computer and check.
If the issue still persists, i would suggest you to reinstall the operating system after backing up all the data.
