SOURCE: Dell Latitude c640 Disable BIOS memory

Just use recovery console of windows xp bootable media and use the following command.

chkdsk (to check the volume).
fixmbr
fixboot

It happens due to improper shutdown methods which has caused the system volume to corrupt the MBR.

Is it booting to normal mode?

If it is booting to normal mode, click start - run and type msconfig.
Click on Boot.ini tab and Check Safeboot. Click Apply and Close or OK. It will restart the computer to safe mode. Remember to uncheck Safeboot to make the computer to boot in normal mode again.

Try this windows fix....

Windows Start-up Errors
Step one, you need a Windows Installation CD. If you only have a recovery disk set like the ones from HP or Compaq they will not do what you need done. Under normal circumstances however, you can use a Dell disk because the Operating system is on a stand-alone disk. All retail versions are also acceptable as well as upgrade disks. For a rule of thumb, if the disk has the Microsoft hologram it should work.
While the computer is first starting up and you see the manufacturers splash screen, tap F12 (some computers it’s F9, others it may be another key, you may have to watch and see if the computer lists the key strokes for getting to the boot menu. If you still cannot find it, boot into the BIOS settings and change your boot order there. Save your settings and exit, the computer will now seek the cd rom as its boot source first.
Place your Windows disk in the computer and start it up. When you see the test at the top of the page “Press Any Key To Boot From CD” Just hit the space bar to activate. The next screen you will see will most likely be a Windows setup screen, when you see this press the “R” key to get to the recovery console. It will get there, it may take a little time, patience. Once it loads you will be given a choice of Windows installations, there should only be one, if there are more, always pick number one. It may ask for an administrators password, if you have not set this particular password, then just leave it blank and press enter. The next prompt you see is:
C:\Windows>
You need to type the following:
cd \
hit enter. Pay close attention to the spacing between the characters. There is a space between the character “d” and the “\”
You are now at the ROOT of the drive, this is where basic commands can be given and changed. You should now see the following:
C:\>
Now type the following:
CHKDSK /R
Hit the enter key.
The chkdsk /r command also includes the P command and will also look for lost recoverable information in bad sectors.
There are occasions depending on how corrupt the system is, that this process could take several hours, so be patient with it.
Now, after chkdsk has run type the following:
FIXBOOT
Hit the enter key.
It may prompt you with a warning, that’s ok, just continue. When fixboot has finished, type: EXIT hit enter and windows will reboot. When the system reboots, tap the F8 key during this time and you will see the multi-boot menu come up. Scroll to the title “Last Know Good Configuration” and hit the enter key. If you were having some simple drive errors this should have fixed them.

How do I disable the touch pad on my Latitude E5400? The curser jumps all over when I type. On my other laptops, there is a button clearly marked to disable the touch pad and this has solved the problem....

  1. Click Start.
    Go to Start, click Run, type main.cpl in the box next to Open, click OK.
  2. Click the Dell Touchpad tab.
  3. If you are not getting the Dell Touchpad tab, update your driver, you will get the Tab.
  4. Click on the picture of the touchpad.
    Click Device Select.
    Click to check the box to the left of Disable Touchpad / Pointing Stick when external USB mouse is present.
    Click Apply, then click OK.
  5. Click the X in the upper-right corner to close the Dell Touchpad Utility.

My Dell latitude d500 won't recover from standby mode (i.e. after shutting the lid).

The little button on the laptop pushes down when you close the lid and is probably stuck down. Open the laptop and look at the area near the hinges foe a tiny gray pop up button. If it is stuck down you will need to try pulling it up with tweezers. Mine is above the power button on a D800. Here is your manual ! http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/latd500/

Let me know how you make out!

Good luck Phil [email protected]

Windows xp tries to start in safe mode screen then as program starts gets brief blue screen then back to safe mode start selection screen once again this keeps repeating

your system will do this as it has shut itself down to protect itself, to make the blue screen stay on so you can write down the error code (e.g stop 0x0000007B),you need to choose the option of `disable automatic restart on sytem failure` (this will be on safe mode screen, reboot, then when you get the B.S.O.D it will stay on and display an error code, google it and you get the answer or post the code on here and i`ll tell you
