Computer help My Dell DELL Inspiron 1420 Vista Home Basic OEMAct when I turn on the pc it always appear the message(File: \Window\system32\winload.exe Status: 0xc0000002)and hanged. I want to re-install but I have lost the original Discs Drive. Please advice how to get a copy of Discs Driver or how to reinstall factory default.

Here's part of an article on how to replace that registry file:

Look in the C:\windows\system32\config\regback\ folder.
There should be copies of the registry files stored inside that folder.
They are backed up periodically and stored in that folder.

If you create a MiniWin, BartPE, or a Linux Live CD, you can start the computer from CD and move the file system to the required folder, C:\windows\system32\config\.

The BIOS may require flashing when an update is available or when replacing the system board.

1. Turn on the computer.
   
   
2. Locate the BIOS update file for your computer at the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
   
   
3. Click Download Now to download the file.
   
   
4. If the Export Compliance Disclaimer window appears, click Yes, I Accept this Agreement.

1. Click Save this program to disk, and then click OK.
   
   

The Save In window appears.

1. Click the down arrow to view the Save In menu, select Desktop, and then click Save.
   
   

The file downloads to your desktop.

1. Click Close when the Download Complete window appears.

The problem you have is with the system boot files. There is a corrupt file and that is stopping the system from booting.
Press F8 as the system starts up, that will let you into the special boot menu and hopefully will give you the option of repairing your system. The timing can be quite tricky as there is only a very short time window. Trying a few times should get it.
Hope that helps.

It must be a Volume device drive problem,please try to update your volume device drive software,find your original dell Inspiron 1420 volume device driver software or download it from www.dell.com

R171789.exe - Audio driver file name to download from support.dell.com

Try starting explorer by going to file\new task (run..) and typing explorer.

If it doesnt work, just type msconfig on the same box and go to startup tab, leaving everything unmarked, just reboot your pc and problem should be solved

checklist:
1. sound driver 2. microphone settings in volume control applet 3. tap test (tap the area around the microphone and see if eg Sound Recorder picks it up) 4. external microphone
If you get to step 4 before you get anything then your problem is one of missing or damaged microphone.

To make sure that you will be able to download the correct driver of your laptop, go to support.dell.com,click driver and downloads, enter the service tag of your computer that is the 7 alpha numeric characters found on your laptop, or you can go to your bios press f2 when you see the dell logo and you will see there the system setup try to find your service tag, once you had enter it on support.dell.com, all of your appropriate drivers that came with your system will show up, but if for example your operating systems is windows xp then you change to vista check if there is a drop down box there to change the os, if not click on the search box on the support.dell.com and then type in the name of your audio card and then put vista ( example sigmatel driver vista).
