Did you try to repair your computer using dell diagnostic utility or recovery partition at startup?
It sounds like your hard drive has boot problems. Do you have modified the boot "section" in your hdd? Some "loader" cracks do it and might cause system insestability. In the worst case, your hdd has lost format. Or you have a bad hdd.
You can try with a "live cd" offers by 3rd part companies to solve boot problems. But sincerly, I did recomend you go to technical support near you to be helped by a professional, because you can loss ALL your data if you do something wrong.
Are you in the waranty time? If you have a bad HDD you can claim it.
I'm working on a Studio 1558 with the exact same problem. It isn't the hard drive, as it does the exact same thing when booting from a windows 7 install disc with the internal HD removed. It appears to be a hardware issue, but i have not gotten to the bottom of it yet. I have removed the CD ROM, and tried different RAM. The CPU fan is working, and the heatsink is clean. When trying to boot from a Windows XP disc, Windows actually crashes to a blue screen of death before XP can even fully load. I'm guessing it's the motherboard, but i want to do more research before replacing it. I can get into the BIOS just fine, and have loaded the system defaults, but I continue to have the same problem. I will try and remember to let everyone know what i find when i do get it fixed.
When booting up my Dell Studio 1558 laptop running windows 7, as the computer goes through the startup procedure just before it should START WINDOWS 7 it hangs up and restarts again this is continuous. I tried to restore and reinstall, but my harddisk partitions are not displayed. Did all kinds of diagnostics all are passed. Very much appreciate your help!
