ok, so i have a Dell inspiron 530S, my parents used to own it and said i could have it for college, i factory resetted it, now it wont load past the dell screen and keeps restarting, ive tried disabling the onboard FDC, and ive set drive A to none and also set the first boot device as hard disk, but it still only brings up the dell splash screen and reset itself

Can you try another factory reset?

You might also try to boot from a Linux CD. If the PC boots into Linux then I would suspect the hazrd drive needs to be replaced.

Good Luck
