MS DOS REFORMAT REInstlALING OPERATING SYSTEM!
Hey all.
I really need help, computer is compaq 5000 (desktop) don't have all the details to it, as it's my sister's. But I can get them if needed! What i do know is That we had to reformat her hard drive thru msdos - because the recovery disk wouldn't work, nothing worked - couldn't get into anything to do with the computer (my computer/controlpanel, nothing at all) kept comin up with some error) She has a 30gb hard drive, which was partioned...was windows ME operation system. So anyhow - we reformated, fdisked, repartioned it, try to boot up by floppy and everything else (even recovery cd) - nothing has worked!!! In a last hope, we tried to install 98 by boot disk, to see if that would work - Stil NOTHING! Just comes up with a A: promt thingy....but we can't do much from there. We tried setup.exe, and all those things -but nothing.. We have looked at various way to install it..tried many ways - nothing! Can anyone give me an detailed way to do this? We are totally at lost, on how to get this computer back up and running. I'm really hopein someone knows what they are doing, cuz we don't anymore - we are at lost! Thanks!! Paula |
