    I loaded Turbo Tax on my 6400 Inspiron now it isn't bootin and got the blue screen with error code 2000-0141-no drive detected, I tried rebooting and am getting message--No bootable devices found, strike F1, etc.. I tried it all but it's not booting. I put in Win XP disk and tried to repair but no go. I've been reading that Turbo Tax sometimes deletes bootable partition info.... any thoughts please?? Thanks.!

    Same thing just happened to my friend. He came home from work and powered up his E1505/6400 and it said hard drive not found. He called dell and they're sending him a new hard drive

    Try booting from the GParted LiveCD and see if you can recover your data, and maybe recover the boot option by adding the boot flag to the OS partition.
