My Compaq Presario 7360 running Win98se crashed. I wouldn't start in SAFE
MODE. I kept getting the no O/S on any system. I went through all 3 Start
Up Options on the Boot Disk. Went through everything in the Help Menu. ie
SYS C: and SCANDISK, and SCANDISK /ALL and SCANDISK /ALL /SURFACE
and CHKDSK and FDISK.EXE and FDISK.EXE /STATUS and FORMAT C: /S
All seemed to go well, except SCANDISK /MOUNT E when I got the msg. that it
couldn't find E. At EXT I put in the WIN98se disk and followed the
commands. I got a msg that it couldn't find WIN98, Bad Command or file
Name. I tried using an ole WIN95 boot disk. It went to the COMPAQ QUICK
RESTORE, but then I got "Compaq error 180.14 or 182.14" msg. Of course, I
could find anything on the Compaq website, and only 1 newgroup came up.
I was planning to give this comp. to my granddaughter who has ADHD and
really needs some help. Now what?
Help,
