refuses to boot - Black screen
Boggin:
When you boot up with an install disk it will try to find the location of the OS to repair and sometimes it sees it in D: instead of C:
BTW - that 701 error is a hardware problem and not sure if a driver install for that would resolve.
This is a Dell check list you can work your way through but if it is a hardware problem such as the graphics chip, then you would have to take it into a repair shop.

CD dive in unreliable
Boggin:
If you are unable to boot up then how do you access the cmd prompt ?
If there aren't any bad sectors reported then it won't be your HDD but the Paragon Rescue Disk has a File Transfer Wizard where you will be able to transfer your files to external media.
Is there any reason why you haven't upgraded to Win 8.1 ?
Just seen your last reply - can you get access to another machine with a working CD/DVD drive to create the Paragon Rescue Disk ?

I get the dos screen from the blue restore screen. If I do the rescue disk, can I use it in USB stick?
