Run CHKDSK /R /P from the recovery console (it will typically find no error) 2. run FIXBOOT from recovery console (typically has no result) 3. run FIXMBR from recovery console (typically has no result) 4. Run the manufacturer's diagnostic utility, downloaded from their website (it will typically find no error) 5. Changing the drives from cable select to Master/Slave may fix it. 6. Replacing the data cable may fix it, but usually not. 7. Setting the BIOS to use defaults may fix it, but usually not. 8.

She has had the computer a few years and uses it only on rare occasion to access the internet for checking email and facebook. Occasionally she will use Microsoft Word, but that is the extent of the usage of the computer. The computer was working fine the last time she checked her email (a month or so ago). She recently pushed the power button to turn the computer on and now it will not boot up. She bought the computer new and for whatever reason it did not come with a recovery CD of any kind. She also has no book or documentation. The only information I have is what is written on the outside of the computer: Dell Inspiron 530S Windows XP Home Edition Intel Pentium Dual-Core Here's what happens when I turn the computer on: A screen with the DELL logo flashes on the screen briefly with an option to choose F2 or F12. Then a black screen appears with the following error message: Loading PBR for descriptor 2...done.
