I only have a black screen when turning on my Dell computer running windows
xp. Yes the obvious I've checked. While booting up and hitting F8 I get
"keyboard not detected" error so I can't even get into safe mode. I've
called Dell and they're sending me a Windows XP disc which wasn't included
with my new computer. I was told to change in the "setup" program from HDD
first to CD first then reinstall XP from the CD. As I recall isn't there a
way I can boot into windows from that disc and try a system restore? Or if
necessary would an option be to install only the necessary system files
instead of the entire OS so that I don't lose files I've saved? Also.... not
that I know how to, but is an option to run "repair" from the CD? Suggestions
anyone? Thanks you!
