Flashing Cursor Blank Screen Problem

IGNITIONSM · 2009-10-03 16:53:34

Hi I need some help. I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 Laptop running Windows XP. I turn it on - the Dell start up screen appears Ok. Then all I get is a flashing cursor at the top left of a blank screen - then nothing else. I have tried to press F8 but that does not work. Is there anyone who can help me? Thanks.

Does anything come up when you type? try typing dir and see what comes up

Try your windows install cd and doing a repair.
