Solved Why can't I open the Dell inspiron 6000 in safemode

I Having the same problem. I tried restoring my laptop to factory setting but instead of getting to prompt to start the restore I got a prompt stating that I was missing a utility partition and that I could not restore it then restarts. I've tried to start up in safe mode by pressing f8 but to my surprise I get a black screeN command screen asking yes or no questions such as Loading PBR4...done Loading DRMK Version 8.00 Buffers=10 y/n FILES=20 STACKS=0,0 And so on. I'm not sure what to do i just want to restore the system to factory setting. HELP!!!! message edited by HeyLady

"I got a prompt stating that I was missing a utility partition and that I could not restore" It appears the partition has been deleted. If that's the case, you will have to reinstall Windows using the Restore CDs which I'm sure you created a long time ago when the computer was new, right?
