Invalid system disk
Howdy:
I've got this old Hewitt Rand 'puter that I'm trying to get running. It has a 120MHz CPU (unknown make), 16MB RAM, Windows 95 (supposed to be loaded on drive?). I turn the machine on and it goes through the POST and then displays all the CPU, hard disk, Plug and Play info and some stuff about PCI devices. It then displays this: External Cache Type : Pipelined BUrst EDO in DRAM Row(s) : 0 Invalid system disk Replace the disk, and then press any key There is no disk in the drives! I've tried starting it up with a Win95 start-up disk, with Win95 CD in CD-ROM, a combination of the two and I still get to this point only. I've been into the BIOS (American) and everything seems kosher there. The floppy lites up and you can hear it accessing the disk, but that's it! If I could get it to a command promt I would be very happy. Any ideas? Thanks. -- The Seabat |
