ok, your Hard drive has dropped the boot manager the easy way to solve this is to re-install your operating system ( windows xp vista windows 7 )
this is also a sign of the cpu on its way out also the same for the hard drive if your computer has been getting really hot the cpu may need re-seating.

I assume the system is an old model and the essential drivers you have'nt got from Dell website to upgrade it to W7 64Bit. 'Dig' on internet ( too much time wasting but you have a lot). A modified BIOS for W7 may be available. But remember, playing with BIOS is somewhat risky.
Note':If there is a will, there is a way' If you don't mind the cost of an old Dell 1737.
Best wishes.
