I THINK F12 might be a diagnostic thing. Have you tried F8? That seems to work from what I Have read. Corruption SHOULDN'T of effected the recovery partition
What did you do for it to start doing that?
The recovery partition is exactly thr same as the DVD, just an image of how your laptop came from the factory.

Well for a while its been broke, when i turn it on, i get this normal screen, but it never does anything and juststays like that forever
then when i press the power button for it togo off i get this screen, again it doesnt do anything an the only way i can get it off is holding my finger down on the power button
hen last night, it just gives the BOOtMGR is missing screen. This test screen was from pressing f2
this is what im sat waiting for now.
I did run the hover over it last night as it had been gathering dust for some time lol, it was after that i got the bootmgr is missing screen but imagine thats a coincidence and the dyson hasnt caused it

Can you explain more what this would involve? I could provably use my mams laptop

Just download a Dell Windows Vista CD image from wherever (it's not illegal as you have a license !) burn it and use that to re-install/repair.
My bigger concern would be that you have a hardware fault.. probably HDD but not always. If you get stuck on the Dell installation CD let me know.. I have a ton of them (seriously.. I have a drawer full of them lol) although I think all my Vista disks are business not home edition.. not that we even use Vista.
Try running a few diagnostics on it.. try the dell diagnostics first.. although I found that next to useless, or try downloadable bootable CD diagnostic tools, particularly ones that analise the HDD.

Never sorted this, i have a disc with windows 7 on but when i put it in, it wont load the disc. Back when trying to sort it i was told i needed to download something from a working pc on a memory stick and then put it in my broken dell which will basically make the dell read the windows 7 disc.
problem is i cant remember exactly what it is i need to download/do, trying again to sort this lol, can anyone help?
