    Hi Megahertz07,

    I apologize that it was not clear - but directly under the image it says:


    It is that screen WITHOUT the System Recovery Options.

    Imagine the blue wallpaper without the system recovery options. Only the cursor. That is what I see.
    I can find no way to get to a menu or input any commands.

    Damn that sounds like a variation of what I'm going through right now. There's absolutely no way around recovery mode, it boots to it whether you use a install CD or the system itself.

    I've managed to dig my way out of this before but right now I can't remember how I did it.

    Get to the point shown on post nº 7.
    Last option is Command Prompt (CMD).
    Select it and type:
    chkdsk c: /f

    Megahertz07,

    The image in post 7 is only an example..it is not what I see on the laptop.
    Does this help:
    Eu não consigo ver a imagem no post 7. Eu só vejo o papel de parede azul.

    I fought that the image was from your computer.
    If you using a Installation disk from Dell, download a ISO from M$ and burn a DVD or use Rufus to build a USB flash disk.
    See my links on post nº4.
    Very good Portuguese. Did you live in Brazil?

    I tried using two different retail discs with the same result.

    Also - never lived in Brazil but learned the value of Google Translate supporting customers there.

    If you need to get out of recovery mode, I found these two threads helpful. You have to shut off Recover from BCDedit

    Safe Mode

    From Intall Disk or Recovery console:

    (Prompt): BCDedit /set {default} recovery Off

    Where {default} is the entry for your main system. Type BCDedit to show Bootmngr and System entries, Bootmgr is the first, {default} should be the second identifier. Also, you can re-create the entire BCD file like this:
