    I have a Dell Inspiron 580 with Windows 7. The other day I was updating the Dell Datasafe back up program when my computer just restarted and will not boot after the Dell Logo screen. It won't go in safe mode, boot from a disc, or from partition. F2 and F12 works so I ran diagnostics and got one error code- 2000-0152, Optical Drive 0 - Incorrect status : 1C. I checked the wires and unplugged and then plugged them back in, ran diagnostics and no code but still same problem. Any suggestion?

    This PC is not that old, so I can't imagine it being shot. But, stranger things have happened. Dell will pretty much tell you to R&I the drive, and re-check the error code.

    Did you boot without it connected?
