Im afraid that I am running out of ideas. For whatever reasons, DVDs dont work, you cant boot, not much left to do.
As a last desperate measure, lets try to go back to factory settings. You will lose everything, your stuff, settings, favorites, updates SPs, everything.
Try this and cross fingers
Dell Laptops - Restore factory settings
If this does not work, and you can boot from a DVD, you should call Dell and get a Vista install DVD for about $25.00 (cost)
or buy the upgrade version of Seven for about $125.00, if you computer can handle Seven

im probably just going to have to get a windows 7 upgrade disk or a installation because I'm not able to boot the f8 startup menu thanks for the help, much appreciated

Before spending money, go to this site
Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - Download - Microsoft Windows
It will tell you if your computer can handle Seven and may find a hardware problem.

I wont be able to use it because it requires me to run it from the computer i'm formatting to windows 7 and that computer cant do anything except load the bios screen then the blue screen and restart
