hi folks, i get the above error when trying to start my dell inpiron b130 with win xp.
i do not have an os cd or driver cd since they perhaps dont ship it seperately with it these days.
while troubleshooting with dell support they said the hardware is fine (through bios) but i would need to reinstall the os and thus loose all data. i do not have a data backup taken externally.
any way i can recover the data myself or do i HAVE to go and take the payed data recovery option from outside vendors? can one create some bootable cd and then access hard drive data w/o reinstall!
appreciate any pointers urgently! thanks
