• Turn on your computer. If you have a laptop, we recommend that you plug the computer into a power outlet so you will not drain your battery. • Press F12 for the boot menu immediately. • Insert your OS disk. It may be Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7, depending on your configuration of your operating system. Don’t worry—if you lose your OS disk, you may buy another one from Dell.com. • Select CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive. • Follow the on-screen instructions, and insert different disks occasionally (it may be individually labeled such as Operating System, Applications, and Drivers). Now it is fixed.
