About the Windows 7 Premium free upgrade eligibility, I bought this notebook about 2 months ago and registered for the upgrade, but till now... no news in my email..??

What is happening? Aaaaaargh...!!!

I tried to reboot multiple times but it still would not go to the login screen.

Then I tried using F2 and boot from DVD drive using the Vista CD that came with the package... but still failed to boot.

What should I do?

Bring it to a PC store? Call Dell? Do they work on weekends? Does the fix involve RMA? Reformat?

Before this happened..

I set a boot-time chkdsk for a partition (F) around last night, but the comp crashed this morning with a BSOD while I was surfing, and upon restart the chkdsk initiated, which was taking a long time so I went and did something else.

Then a couple of hours later I came back and saw a blank screen so I pressed the 'ON' button, then booting was especially slow (showing the hardware listing on every boot up a bit slower than normal), then the above error kept happening..

I just bought this notebook back in September
