Thanks Bill. Its my daughters laptop. It started suddenly. If I had to guess she dropped it or something. Once I get into windows everything is fine...its just getting there that a PITA.

I called dell tech support and they steered me in the right direction. They seemed to think the was a problem thatthe connection to the HD was broken. They walked me thru and I removed the HD, inspected and reinstalled. I get a message that "no bootable device" on start up occasionally.

Sounds like it may be hardware.

Thanks
