Default "No Boot Disk" error on old Compaq LTE Notebook

I have an old Compaq LTE notebook - the Pentium with a 90MHz chip. I
could never get the thing to work right, so I'm trying to Craigslist
it. However, I can't get Win95 to boot up. Even though the HD shows
up on the system configurator, the notebook simply refuses to
recognize it on boot - I get this messgae that says "No Boot Disk".

Can I assume that the HD is just dead, or is this a CMOS problem? I'd
like to maximize this machine's worth before I get rid of it.

Suggestions appreciated.


It's been a problem child since day one? Just wipe the drive, with a
program like DBAN, and sell it for around $20. Disclose it's true
condition, and state AS-IS. And you'll be fine.
