Goodmorning,
I have a HP/Compaq. Had Windows Me. 40 gig hard drive, 1Ghz processor, 128MB sync Dram.
I want to get this computer working mainly just for e-mail use.
About a month ago, PC just quit working. Came up with a black screen. Saying something about not being able to find operating system.
Tried to reboot with Quick restore, recovery CD, and a backup diskette I had made. None of it works. Comes up with something about drive D, gives choices of, Retry, Abort, Fail.

I can give more information if you can ask me the proper questions, to get to the problem.

Would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!

You need to give a model number to find out what board it uses. Could be a number of issues. I would also check computer geeks or ebay for a used pc. I sold mine for only $100 last week.
