i am fixing an computer for an friend...
she pretty much erased the entire operating system on her computer, when i got it in my hands it just gives me an message stating that there is no operating system found...
i inserted an boot disk:
tried first with regular windows 98 and then later with an 2000, and finally with an xp...
all were recognized by the laptop, got to the point where it was telling me that the hard drive was not partitioned and that i needed to do so ... selected options of creating partition... with the 98, it did it then asked me to reboot the computer, once started again partition was gone... and with 2000 and xp just wouldnt do it...
its an laptop compaq presario 1270, any ideas, or is there anything wrong that i am doing?
thanks b4 hand for any help given.
