so my cousin graduated from cortland(ny) this weekend, i went to his house for a party, ended up trying to fix his computers...
one - a compaq presario 5000
fried...
viruses or some fucked up shit, would not boot up...
re-installed windows 98 instead of win ME, and it works again now... still need to reinstall drivers and all that shit, but it boots now...
so he gave me his dell laptop that he bought for 400 prob 2 years ago
pentium 3, 12 gig, 120 mb i think...
etc
anyway, it boots from the HD and automatically prompts to a screen from win 98 setup, where you can enter the user name, and company
enter whatever you want and it says cannot open agreement, the computer will now shut down...
great...
start it in safe mode and it doesn;t do dick...
remove hard drive, boot from cd, get no where, no fixed drive...
boot from cd, try and put hard drive in and it turns the computer off...
yea, i know its bad...
i was told the A drive doesn't work...
and i don't know how to get into bios to get it to boot from the cdrom on startup...
anyone know?
