Solved Major Boot Problem

[Nikilet]

Dell XPS 410 Desktop

Someone went through my computer today, making some changes, and now I can't do a lot of things as far as booting.

1. My computer sits on the first "DELL" screen for over 2 minutes, then it goes to the black screen with the white writing on (screenshot 1).
2. It also sits on that screen for a long time, but worse is what has started popping up on the bottom regarding SATA drive. If I press F1 it will go ahead and boot. I pressed F2 and took some pictures with my digital camera. See screenshots 2-4.

I ran Belarc advisor to see what it showed for Drives and that info is:
SAMSUNG HD321KJ [Hard drive] (320.07 GB) -- drive 0, s/n 0SEZ1JPN055368, SMART Status: Healthy
TEAC USB HS-CF Card USB Device [Hard drive] -- drive 1
TEAC USB HS-MS Card USB Device [Hard drive] -- drive 3
TEAC USB HS-SD Card USB Device [Hard drive] -- drive 4
TEAC USB HS-xD/SM USB Device [Hard drive] -- drive 2

I'm praying someone can look at these and tell me what was changed or disabled on my computer to make this happen during the boot.

I was thinking very strongly about using the Dell Factory Image Restore option, but I can't get to the screen. I reach it through pressing the F8 button on start up, but since I started getting these goofy lines about these SATA deals, I can't get to Safe Mode or anything.

I'm also considering a System Restore.

The computer is working fine except for these things.

I posted this on another forum earlier tonight and it showed 112 views and not one reply, so I'm trying here to see if someone who knows about these things will respond with something helpful.

Thanks!

I guess no one wanted to touch this. I put it in two forums and never had a response. In any event, I accidentally solved it myself. I don't know what happened, but I shut the computer down and unplugged it for 20-30 minutes. When I came back, plugged it in and hit the power button it booted like it's supposed to and all seems to be well.
