Dear Appu, Thank you for the prompt reply, very much appreciated.  Unfortunately I followed your instructions and I still come back with the same issue. :-(  Any further help is appreciated. Kamalt
Hi, I can't seem to get past the Info: The Windows Boot Configuration Data file is missing required information.  I would like to reformat my Laptop to when it was originally purchased but cannot seem to get past any of the above and it is telling me to "Insert your Windows Installation disc and restart your computer" etc... but I did not receive one when purchased my Laptop 1558 from Dell.  Please help anyone if you can.  Thank  you,  kamalt
