Hi, I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 6400 from a company that went out of business. I did a system restore to clean off all the information that was put on it by the company and when it re-booted, everything was lost. Noli Me Tangere 5th Edition By Maria Odulio De Guzman Central Florida here. By this I mean all the program icons that were displayed on the screen are no longer there. Not even the start button normally displayed on the bottom left corner is missing. I called Dell about my situation and was told since the notebook was not sold to me, they cannot be of help.
