Reset defaults in bios (f2 setup).

does the bios detect a hard disk? is there an operating system on it? a lot of times people wipe the drives before selling their computers. if you dont already own a windows license you can put on the computer you can contact the manufacturer to try to order some system restore discs or you can put a free operating system on it like Ubuntu or Fedora.
