Hi

Is there a f12 bios boot up option like most Dell laptops have
It usually leads to hardware diagnostic option

If hard disk & RAM is ok look for recovery partition option
If all else fails buy a set of recovery windows DVD's that match the windows version that came with the PC
( from Dell )
I suspect the Dell had windows 7 home premium or professional not ultimate

Again a reminder to make the Dell backup & recovery DVD set and put it in a safe place if you do not buy the dvd's when buying the PC
