chipamaker,
I think
real ace has a very good idea in doing a complete uninstall and reinstall.
1. Format the C: partition and
2. Check BIOS settings having to do with the disk subsystem- especially AHCI.
3. If you have access to another computer, download and install the latest BIOS from Dell.com / Support / Downloads.
4. Also check if there are some residual RAID settings and clear everything out.
5. Reinstall Windows as Administrator
Let us know how it going.
Cheers,
