1171304 2011-01-21 01:14:00 Uninstalled Nero 8 that came with my Dell computer, then following the required reboot the computer will no longer load the Vista operating system.

There were a few error messages during the uninstall that could have indicated there was going to be a problem, ie: registry & configuration files

Have tried to start with the Dell interface instructions:
F2 = setup
F12 = boot menu
But there is no response
Also, the usual F8 but also no go

Tried the Dell/ Vista re-install disk, but the computer is not acknowledging the DVD Drive

Help! - where do I go from there

Thanks

Also try resetting your BIOS

Also test your BIOS/CMOS battery while you've got it out, should be 3 volts DC or so, if it's not, maybe that's the problem.
