Dell Mini goes to Black Screen

Problemell Mini

Power on
After powering on, screen only goes to a black screen. Nothing else.

Issues. Was showing low disk space.

can't get into bios due to password not known. Bought mini from a pawn shop so dont know how to get the password.

Fn+F8 went to debug and it produced: Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardward configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check the Windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information.(wut dis mean???)


This is a friends computer and truth told the low disk space had been showing for a long time before this problem presented itself.

Please help. wut do we do.Please.

 

If you remove the CMOS battery it will reset the BIOS password. If you're lucky the battery will be accessible from under the RAM hatch, if not you may have to remove the keyboard.
