Alright evrybody, I am about to tell you a very sad story, about a very
foolish man. I , GhandoTang, loaded vista onto my un-partitioned hard drive.
I know, I know, Stupid but sometimes these things happen. I am now leaving
for Alaska in 4 days and am confronted by the infamous black screen of death.
My options are slim. I am running a new dell that when purchased came with
a piece of paper instead of an operating disc, I have no boot disc. I cannot
get anywhere with my computer except for the black screen. My computer does
not seem to have an option to boot from my dvd/rom inside the computer, only
a external usb cd drive or a floppy drive, neither of which I have. My
computer seems to offer a "rollback" option to start on the previous version
of windows, but when I attempt it I get nothing but a grey bar across the
bottom and a massive freeze. Safe mode freezes, dos mode freezes, diagnostic
says everythng is peachy. I attempted to boot sans video card only top
realize that no video card = no monitor. I am in full breakdown. Please,
Please help me as I am near the breaking point and love my computer very much.
