Default presario 1685 problem PLEASE HELP

Hi,

I have been shown a presario 1685 notobook that only starts with a dos like
screen showing a check of memory and HD (screen shows 3 progress
indicators).
This process only needs a few seconds. Immediatly after that win98 closing
screen shows telling us that we can close the pc down. And that is it... we
can't get into the win98 system ...

I do not have ANY experience with compaq systems , and i cannot find a
solution on the internet. PLEASE HELP!!!
