Hi, I just purchased my dell and am having some problems. I got the package from Fedex and plugged everything in. I turned on the computer to see if I had everything in. The windows Vista install screen loaded. I didn't have enough time because I was going to be late for work so I turned the computer off by holding int he power button. Anyway, I came how and turned it on to get the message saying do you want to start this in safe mode. I said no and ran it in normal mode, and now it loads, and then comes up with this message. "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation." It doesn't matter if I run it in safe mode, safe with network, or command prompt I get the same error. Does anyone have any suggestions. Or how to "restart the installation"
Im having the same problem as danwhitehouse did.. i try to do the crtl+f11 but i do not have a blue bar on top of the screen or bottom. Iv also try to do it other times of the loading and still I get nothing besides the same error.
ok u dont get a PC restore screen never mind lets try another way
insert the vista cd in the top most drive-------shut down-------restart--------dell logo-----F8 key (tap it 20 time when u see dell logo)-------u reach advanced boot options screen-------repair my computer-------highlight it and press enter-------vista screen appears-----setup ur language,keyboard etc--------next--------bottomof the screen------- repair my computer---------select ur account------next-------click on complete PC RESTORE-------next
