Urgent beard-level help required!!

Girlfriends laptop just died

Dell Latitude CSX H500 notebook
Windows ME

Only has external CD drive.

Will not boot up,on trying to start it states registry error-run SCANREG.

Cannot find a way to get into msdos-safe mode,when selected, runs a quick diskcheck (improper shutdown) and then attempts to install some non existant,unspecified hardware.After that,im left with a blank grey screen that just says safe mode in top left and lower right side.

Have no system disks etc,does anybody know any other ways I can access DOS for the scanreg?

CAn Access BIOS etc via F2 on startup but....tis no good I think.

Thanks.
