I believe Dells get you into the BIOS by holding down the key
during boot-up.
Go to:

and download the latest version of Knoppix and burn it to a CD as an

My computer is fracked up again, though this time I've been able to at least
recover my data with relative ease.
I really need help: my computer won't boot.
It's a Dell Precision 650 (I think) dual-Xeon workstation, running Windows
Vista Ultimate for about a week now. It's a few years old, but
I've got one of those 3COM cards with the retractable antenna. Very
convenient not having to remove it when I put the Thinkpad in its case.
