Maybe over my head?
:x
A friend brought me over her computer last week--told me it just "stopped"--appears to be an old Gateway 2000--when I turned it on, got a message stating invalid system disk, remove--of course, there's no disk inside, so I'm assuming perhaps a hard drive situation--unplugged the drive so that a Win98 startup floppy would take over the booting, which it did, but when I tried to run fdisk, I get a message stating no fixed disks present--rebooted the system with the same error message, tried running delpart and got "no hard drive found"--does it sound like she's screwed and needs a new hard drive to anyone else? Thanks, Mike |
