Unable to restore PC after Formatting with Wipe Drive 8

Yes i have my flash drive, so all i need is a certain key press you say? would you happen to know the key press?

Presumably you had to boot a CD or something in order to run the Wipe software. How did you do that?

As I said in my post, no - I don't do Dell. Do some Googling for godz sake, or maybe someone will chime in here.

i googled it and it says F11 or F12 for dell neither worked so i will check other keys

How did you boot whatever you used to wipe your drive?

I went in BIOS using F12 and set my PC to boot from DVD Drive and used Wipe Drive 8, after wipe was finished F12 no longer responds when i press it, im on the phone with a dell rep and he tells me that my motherboard may have gone bad..

Yes, alas, I was coming around to thinking you had a hardware issue. Good luck - hope you get to the bottom of it...

Spoke with a tech support rep from white canyon the other day and they told me my mobo isnt dead, i simply need get a full installation disc to reinstall windows, so how would i be able to tell if my motherboard is dead or damaged?

If you can't even manage to bring up the menu that allows you to select the boot device, a full installation disc of windows or anything else is not going to help you. I thought you already had some bootable media? Did the White Canyon people give any reason for their diagnosis?

I think you should simply bring your computer to a local shop and have them look at it. We're just going around in circles here...
