Hey I recently got a second computer off this guy, right? It's a Dell and he self intalled Windows XP upgrade. I have had it about a year or two and never had any problems; until now.
The daggone thing went down while I was typing a resume online. :mad: When I went to restart my computer it won't do anything. It seems like it's starting up get pass the BIOS to a black screen and ques A:\> I restarted the computer and tried to startup in Safemode and that won't work either. It showed once and now I can't get the option for safemode to show again. I don't have a boot CDRom and can't get it to boot from this janky floppy. It keeps telling me Bad command.
Does anyone have anything that could help. I'd very much appreciate it. Please help; I'm going crazy here.

Since you have another computer you can go to http://www.nu2.nu/bootablecd/ and make a bootable cd. Also lots of resources at http://www.bootdisk.com/ You are going to have to get it to boot to do any troubleshooting. If it don't boot, I suspect bad motherboard or cpu.
