TheTerrorist_75 Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) Was the program running when he messed with it? Can you exit the Dell diagnostic partition? Have you tried to reboot the laptop to see if there has been any damage to the MBR? Edited October 1, 2005 by TheTerrorist_75 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
