On a dell xps m1330 originally with vista I installed xp into the vista partition. Now I went back and deleted the dell restore partition and the computer does not boot (shows “No bootable devices–strike F1 to retry boot, F2…,etc” after POST). Booting off the xp cd I ran both fixboot and fixmbr but it still does not boot. Is there any other way to make the computer boot short of a complete reformat?
