Missing operating system
If, by "installation CD" you mean you have the Quickrestore CD(s), all you
need to do to run it is put the CD in he drive and reboot. The PC should boot from it and give you a restore menu. HH wrote in message oups.com...

Missing operating system
The message "missing operating system" can have a number of causes. Especially
if it's never been done before, change the motherboard's CMOS battery, likely a C2032 3v lithium coin-sized one. When the battery goes, the CMOS settings, including hard drive info, become corrupted, causing various symptoms including "missing operating system"...
