Remove the hard drive from the laptop and install it in a 2.5" external enclosure and connect it a USB port of a working computer and see if you can transfer the files and folders you need to the computer's hard drive.

Try loading the Command Console using the Windows Vista install CD to repair the Vista startup:
1. Put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
2. Press a key when you are prompted.
3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
4. Click Repair your computer.
5. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
6. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
7. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.
well, I don't know much about these commands but when I did these commands, now another error appeared :
"BOOTMGR" IS MISSING:emotion-8:
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PAITIENT

Hi,
It is pretty simple all you need to have is Operating System Disk. It will be purple or lavender color CD mentioned as " Operating System, Already Installed on your computer". Insert that disk
Start the Windows XP Recovery Console:
Insert the Windows XP installation CD into the CD or DVD drive.
Restart the computer.
While the computer is starting, repeatedly press F12 every 3 seconds to access the one-time boot menu.
When the one-time boot menu appears, press the Down Arrow to highlight the CD-ROM option that appears, which is one of the following options: Onboard CD-ROM Drive or Onboard USB CD-ROM Drive.
Press Enter.
When the computer boots to the CD-ROM drive, press R to enter the Recovery Console.
If prompted, select the number corresponding to the Windows installation you want to repair and press .
Regards,
Shaggy

Hi,
Do you have any important data on your computer which you don't want to loose ?
If you don't You can take your computer back to day 1 settings.... But all the Softwares and data will be erased it will take your computer to day 1 settings ...
Take out Disk from the CD/DVD Drive
1. Tap F8 as soon as your computer restarts
2. Choose "Repair your computer" option
3. Choose "Dell Factory Image Restore" ...
Regards,
Shaggy

hi,
finally I understood that "media direct" CD is deleted all of my data :(((
I didn't know that this CD is used for making partitions, and it was a really sad experiment. it was deleted my drivers that's why I couldn't do anything with that, I would like to advice all that are not femiliar t othis CD function, that never install it in an existing windows, it was a very simple but important issue that I paied so much for it.
GUD LUK every body

Sorry for the late post but just so you know when ever this happens, before you panic always try this. Hold down the MediaDirect button and the power button until the machine powers down then let go. This redirects the boot sequence away from MediaDirect. Hope that helps.
