Major computer issue... I really need help with this!
Alrighty about a month ago we installed windows 7 onto our dell dimension 9100 we originally had windows xp on it. Well one major issue we noticed was it would freeze up for a few seconds- minutes and then start working again. Rather annoying. Well about two weeks ago the system crashed. When you try to boot it up it says Floppy diskette seek failure. No boot device available, all of this on a black screen. however on occasion it will send me through to start up windows then will go up to the windows repair. Which then say it can't fix windows automatically, you can't set restore point, you can't do anything. Whoever it DOES let me bring up the command prompt window. Dell says that this is happening due to windows 7 becoming corrupt. They say uninstall it and reinstall it but I'm not going to pay an arm and a leg to do so. So my question is what they said even correct? If not I would love to hear what is wrong with it. Or if it is correct how can I uninstall windows through a command prompt or any other way. It's driving me nuts!
