Assuming that the drive hasn't failed, only if you reformat the drive.

Sorry if I'm being a pain in the @$$ here.
BTW,the computer is a Dell XPS of some sort. Other than that, I don't really know much more.

Dell XPS - try the F2 key as soon as you see the Dell logo. Or, alternately, from a cold boot, just start punching the F2 key repeatedly.

If you can find the service tag sticker on the back, PM the code on there and I'll look up what the exact sequence is.
