How do I reboot my Dell Inspiron N5050 laptop without the reboot disk?

I turned on my computer this morning and it didn't go to the same screen. I really can't explain it. My screen read, "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key". I've Googled the situation, and it says to hit F8 several times before my Dell screen comes on. I've done that several times and it hasn't helped at all. I don't have the disk that reboots my laptop, and I just bought this laptop three days ago. Can somebody out there please give me some simple directions on how to fix this? Thank you in advance.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Did you buy this computer used? If the Laptop is still running Windows 7 and you just purchased it a few days ago, you should call the store you purchased it from. There is something wrong with the Operating System that was installed on the Device. It was most likely an illegitimate copy if the laptop was purchased Used. To reinstall the Operating System if you cannot perform a system recovery through the "Blue Screen" options, you will need to have a USB or Disk that has a new Operating System on it.
