Whenever I turn it on it flashes the Dell logo and than the screen just goes blank. It will stay at the blank screen for hours.

I was told by somebody to download Hirens Boot cd and than burn it.

I have no idea how to burn the file to a cd?

It was a zip file so I extracted it to my desktop.

And the 5 files below the zip file popped up.

How do I burn that to a cd?

Please help me.

I already burned the iso to a disc. I used Nero 8 to burn it and all I did was add that one iso file and than I burned the cd. Somebody told me that I probably did it wrong. So how exactly was I suppose to burn the disc? Was I suppose to add all five of the files that are on my desktop in the picture above to the cd?


And I opened the CREATE YOUR ISO, but what do I do from there?

Because I opened the file to the far right it and a box popped up saying "FOLDER MISSING."

Okay so I put the disc in my laptop and than I pressed F12. Than 5 options came up, Internal HDD, CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive, Onboard NIC, BIOS Setup, and Dianostics.

I clicked on the second one, CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive.

The screen went blank and there was a little tiny blinking line in the upper left side of the screen. A minute or so later the blinking line went away. And I left the laptop there for twenty minutes and nothing happened. It's still blank.

Did I do something wrong?

Well that someone was wrong then. Because it can't even boot from the CD Drive

As I stated in Post#2 I feel that your hard drive has either failed or the data connection is bad somehow

You could try reseating your internal hard drive (its in one on those covers under the laptop)
By the way you may as well reseat the Ram cards as well (also in one of those covers under the laptop)

As a good test you could remove the internal hard drive fully, and see if it allows you to boot up the laptop. Then go to System CMOS Settings (F2 usually on Dell) And run Setup defaults, then save and exit CMOS Settings (F10)
Then re-install the suspect hard drive and turn on
By the way, make sure any externals are unplugged (ie printer extra hard drive that type of thing)

Let us know the results
