    Hey guys, I`m in Trouble
    I buy new Inspirion E1505 but....
    I has one partition on my drive C, and Divide it into 2 parts C: and D:

    I decided to reformat Windows XP And install it freshly. Then formated C: partion and boot instalation Wizard from DELL Windows XP Disk... But after files was copied and laptop was restarted. Instalation wasn`t start. On my black LCD i see only blinking dash. :(

    I can boot from windows XP CD via F12, but can`t boot from Windows files copied to my hard drive.

    This was new for me (maybe specially for DELL), can you have any suggestions.
    I try install Windows on my D: drive.. but the result is same. Please help.

    I`m from Bulgaria, and my language may be isn`s so correct. Apologize for that.
