it could still be useful but I have no idea how to restore the OS.
I have the discs that it came with. The CD-ROM drive doesn't want to open for some reason.
I do have an external USB CD-ROM I can use if needed, though.
When I power the unit on, it shows the startup screen with a Dell logo, and a progress bar.
Once it hits halfway down the progress bar, nothing happens. I thought I could press F2 for the setup menu but it did nothing.
I am NOT a computer mechanic at all so if anyone has advice or could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it
