    Fellow Notebookreviewers,

    I Really need your help because I can't start my laptop. I have a XPS1530 and could use it in the morning. Now it won't even boot. I have a blue screen where it says that I can't boot because of a faulty driver and that I need to boot with safemode and turn of the cache and shadowing in the Bios. I also can't reinstall or repair because of an error at the installation screen.

    Thnx in advance,
