Hi: My Inspiron stopped working one day when I found

out it won't power up. Called Dell tech support who advised

the fn key + power button trick but that did not work.

Tried booting from OS on external drive and it came up.

Took the hard drive out and tried reading it on another

machine.

Found it has become raw drive. Reformatted in another win 7 machine and found the disk working fine.

Put it back on Inspiron. Then tried to reload windows 7 64-bit  through DVD drive, but kept getting

'Disk read error .. hit Ctrl alt delete to restart'.

That did not work. Checked the internal connections,

reseated the hard drive and tried again. Same error.

Tried to get to F2 or F12 right after logo screen but was unsuccessful. I don't have the resource disk. I had downloaded the OS from microsoft link (i have product key) and created dvd disk using ImgBurn.

Tried the driver and utilities disk also but that didn't work either.

What should I do? Any help you can provide ..thanks very much in advance.  Really frustrating! Of course past the warranty but this machine is only a little over 2 years old!!
