Inspiron 640m Problem
Ok, so I get my laptop last week, and decided to format it and install Windows XP Professional on it. I finished installing all the components I wanted, then thought I might as well install the Dell Media Direct software.
I looked on the Resource and Drivers disk, and found "Dell MediaDirect Repair Utility". I looked at the .pdf in it and it said how to reinstall it. So I followed it's instructions.
1. Boot from CD
2. Press "Q" and type "cd \MD2"
3. Type "Repair".
After doing that, I wait a while, and it says "Done", and so I reboot the laptop.
Now the laptop keeps rebooting after the black Windows XP screen *I can't get on Windows XP*. I can't get into Windows itself using Safemode, last point it was working, or continue it normally.
I've looked online, and it says that it is a STOP error or something. But all the diagnostic tools on the actual laptop (from holding Fn + Power key, Hardware diagnostic) all pass.
Trying to re-format it again doesn't work, as it says that there is a software error and that windows has to stop. So... I reckon it's a BIOS error, but seriously have no clue what to do.

i got that problem solved , now i have another problem which is i am not able to get the correct the driver for my " DELL TRUEMOBILE 350 INTERNAL BLUETOOTH MODULE". i don't have the rescue cd, i have downloaded the original drivers from dell's website but they doesn't work and is giving error message that " bluetooth device is not found". i have also downloaded the drivers from toshiba's website but they are also giving error messages or hangs. I have bought this laptop a month before, so its difficult to say that if there is any hardware problem.
plz help me in this regard......... it'll be the best thing if i got an ".inf" for my bluetooth device..
