How to flash a dell 8 venue tablet
I accidentally deleted all the drives on my dell 8 venue 3845 tablet, now the tablet wont boot, not get into the BIOS, Shows up the DELL logo and then turns off. I guess the only option is to flash the tablet. I can see there are some instruction on how to flash some of the android tablets here "http://opensource.dell.com/releases/Venue_8_3840_Merrifield/developer-edition/FlashTool/" but nothing related to the windows tablet. is there any documents on how to flash a windows tablet ?

What did you do to delete drives? That doesn't seem possible. To update the drivers and firmware/ bios- http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/dell-venue-8-pro-3845-tablet/drivers
Here is the manual--

Unfortunately that manual is not helpful. Dell provided the instructions to flash an Android Tablet, I am looking for the similar instructions/tools for a windows tablet.
My hardware is working fine, I removed all the drives and recreated them for installing the OS. I think this messed up the BIOS /UEFI settings. now when i reboot my system it shows the dell logo for a second and then shows the blank screen. Same thing happens when i go to bios. screen is blank. I just need a way to get back my bios.
I also removed the battery for 30 minutes, it didnt help either.
