thanks,
Pls help;
I have a DELL Inspiron B130 LAPTOP with a black screen. When I run an extended test in the diagnostic menu, I get one page showed: the device (dvd) was detected by Delldiag, maybe you need other diagnostics to test. (before finish the test, this same page was showed three times)
1) Then I use F8 to enter Safe mode , enter windows xp pro, one page was showed:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe;
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\windows\system32\hal.dll;
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\windows\system32\kdcom.dll;
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\windows\system32\bootvid.dll;
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\windows\system32\config\system;

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\windows\fonts\vgaoem.fon
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\windows\apppatch\drvmain.sdb
2)Does the BIOS see the hard drive (F2)?
After F2, The page showed;
system
onboard devices
video
security
power management
maintenance
post behavior
wireless
But no DRIVES between system and onboard devices.
Pls help, could you tell me what I should do?
Right now I have the Reinstallation CD Microsoft Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3 in my hand.
pls advise, thanks.
