Howdy, I'm very new to laptops. Someone just donated one to me to fix
up and donate to our school district. It seems to work sometimes and
then other times when it is booted up it goes through the memory count
but it stops at detecting the hard drive and displays an "Operating
system not found" message and other times it boots right up.
Specs:
Dell Inspiron 3500
Windows 98
battery good
using AC adapter
I have no disks or manuals for this puppy. Went to the Dell site and
downloaded some drivers and utilities, but didn't see anything
diagnostic that would run from a DOS promt. Their FAQ was of no help,
either.
Thanks for any help/info/sites that would solve this glitch.
