Sounds like the hard drive was encrypted prior to the upgrade to SP2.

If that's the case, you may have created a password during the encryption process. See this reference to recall the steps for encrypting a hard drive with Bitlocker.

Follow the steps for unlocking your hard drive and you should be ok.

If for some reason, you never encrypted the hard drive and do not have a password, then the encryption may have been caused by some bug in the upgrade and you should contact Microsoft to resolve.

Understanding battery charging issues
If the <a href="http://www.laptopbatteryinc.com.au/dell-xps-m1530.html">dell xps m1530 battery</a> is not charging or the notebook does not indicate that the battery is charging, the most likely scenario is that the battery itself is operating correctly, but its power management software may have become corrupt. In order to correct the problem, you will need to uninstall and reinstall the power management software by using the Device Manager. This document will explain how to uninstall and reinstall the ACPI Battery listings in Windows Vista, as well as how to obtain and install updated BIOS files, if needed to correct other battery issues.
Uninstalling and reinstalling power management software in Windows Vista
In order to correct problems with the battery's power management software, follow the steps below.
1. Click Start and type device in the search field, then select Device Manager .
2. Expand the Batteries category.
3. Under the Batteries category, right-click the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listing, and select Uninstall .
WARNING: Do not remove the Microsoft AC Adapter driver or any other ACPI compliant driver.
4. On the Device Manager taskbar, click Scan for hardware changes .
Alternately, select Action > Scan for hardware changes .
Windows will scan your computer for hardware that doesn't have drivers installed, and will install the drivers needed to manage your battery's power. The notebook should now indicate that the <a href="http://www.laptopbatteryinc.com.au">laptop battery</a> is charging.

If you have the installation discs I'd suggest booting into them or the recovery partition by pressing F12 and either selecting CD/DVD ROM or Recovery Partition.

Once in there make sure to select Repair your Installation by pressing R and continue once you get into the Command Prompt to run a check disk scan. To do this simply type chkdsk /r. This will compare the Windows files on your system with the files on the disc to ensure they are the same and not corrupted.

After that upon reboot you should be able to boot. Good luck!

press on the Power button for about a minute to shutdown the computer completely. Now turn it on again and see if the same thing happens. If is continues, most probable reason is that there a hardware conflict. Did you install anything? What happened before the screen froze?

Try power drain by removing the battery and ac adapter then press the power button for 10 seconds. Plug the ac adapter back in and set aside the battery. Turn the system on.

If it doesn't power up, run the diagnostics utility by pressing the Fn+Power button at the same time.

If it still doesn't power on, motherboard needs replacement.

Note: Your XPS M1530 might still be under warranty. Dell can replace your motherboard for free.

try changing your desktop.

Perform power drain (remove all the accesories inclusing battery and the charger) press the power button for 1 minute.

Connect the power adapter tehn turn on the computer.

If issue still persist posible issue with the hardware MoBo
