I have two very old computers. One is a desktop-- an HP Pavilion, running on windows 98. I have the internet on the desktop, and I mainly use this one (the desktop). But earlier this year I got a laptop from a thrift store. It's really old. It's a Compaq Lte 5250. It has no CD rom drive, and is running on what seems to be an older version of windows 98. It has no internet connection, but I made use of it by typing up poems and stories and just random things. Some important some not.
One day, I was getting ready to save all my poems that I had typed up (but had not written on paper) on to a diskette. Well, somehow my laptop froze up! So, I decided to press alt ctrl delete. My laptop has a weird Fn key that's in blue letters. When you press it, it activates other blue keys on the keyboard (ex- the letter U. When you press FN and Type 'u' you get the number four) so I'm thining maybe I pressed FN ctrl delete (wich is sysrq). Well, whatever. I don't know how it happend, but whenever I turn on my laptop now, all I get is a black screen and grey letters that say 'insert boot disk in sysetem-- install boot disk and restart.'
There was no way of getting past that screen, so I made a disk on this machine (my desktop). I wasn't sure if it would work since it's a different company and all but hey-- windows is windows. So, I made the boot disk and tried again. I got past that screen finally but I can't get to my desktop. I know this is really stupid, but I'm only thirteen years old, and really want to get back my files. Even if there's a way I can do it that looses my files, I'm fine with that. I just need a second computer.
Any help would be grand.
Remember:
-It's a windows 98
-It has NO CD rom Drive.
-I'm only 13, and I'm a little slow.
Thanks so much!
