Re: Dell Inspiron 1150 Problems - Plz Help! :-(

given that both the hard disk and cd drives developed a problem at the same
time sounds very suspicious.
perhaps jay b has it right with the suspicion that the board has overheated

read up on the issue hear found under inspiron 5150...

there are no guarantees that the chkdsk /r from the recovery console
