    :mad: Hi

    I hope someone can help!

    I have been following this thread very closely and have come up against some problems;

    Scenario is this - restored from a Ghost image, booted into windows everything was fine. DM button would launch Dell Media Experience when I was in XP.

    When the notebook was powered off and I pressed the DM button it owuld boot into windows;

    Booted with the DM repair iso and ran the repair.bat utility.

    After that - rebooted and the notebook came up with [XLDR] ATA!

    Booted the notebook with a bootable USb key per instruction from the thread - ran PTEDIT and changed the rows.

    Restarted the notebook into Windows, powered off and pressed the DM button only to get the following;

    "Window could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware.Please check the Windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information"

    I really, really hop womone can help me with this
