I know what your problem is...but im not going to tell you....
no im kidding, its your mb. assuming your friend did a FULL format - a FULL LONG format...not the short one.
dells are pretty good - there are only 5 laptop producers in the world...bet you didnt know that!....all 5 use similar parts and just re-case them for bigger companies like Dell, Sony, Toshiba, etc....dell has a killer warranty....go with them
All you alienware freaks - just so you know your laptop is a Sager

same with all you other custom computer geeks....I hope that pretty case was worth 2000 bucks to you
