ive got this inspiron 530 and upon turning it on after the screen with the dell logo on it it just says something like achi bios not installed then goes to a black screen can't recal doing anything to cause this so what can i do

Most likely the problem is that the bios cannot detect a hard drive. This message normally happens when there is a scsi controller either not activated or removed from the system.
You mentioned you got this system. Can you explain what you mean by this. Has the system worked before? What was installed or removed from the system before it started with the error message?
