Hi, my Dell laptop crashed last week and i've been getting the runaround about fix-it options. just wondering if anybody experienced problems and/or found solutions to them in korea, specifically daegu. i've heard i may need to replace my hard drive, but the catch is i really need to recover the documents, so i'm worried about what method to follow. any advice would be greatly appreciated and heeded.

best regards,

mattt

If you post details of the problem, someone might be able to help you in the tech forum here.

Yeah, detail the problem on here. Usually there are fixes.

my dell turns on, goes to the DELL screen, then goes to the windows XP page and starts to load, then there's a click and the whole process starts over again and again...i was gone for a day and had my computer on, and the internet was connected (i think) and when i returned the screen was white. i turned it off and tried to restart but nothing.

since then i have been able to go to F2 and start in safe mode (for the first two times) but since then i can't even do that. i talked to a tech guy at dell in seoul and he said it sounds like a software problem.

the error message just says 'your computer was unable to start due to an unexpected problem. this could be due to either a hardware or software problem...' then it gives me options to start up. none of them work.

any help would be appreciated.

Heat, power or a virus.

Just find a computer shop man. Easy. Koreans can assemble a hdd in their sleep while smoking.
