I'm a complete computer novice on operating systems and hardware etc. the technical side.
I've got a REALLY old laptop that i use for word processing my university work on and there's something wrong with it! Thats where you miracle workers come in...
When i start the laptop it says:
"SystemSoft BIOS for OPTI Viper 557/558N 1.01 (2450-62)(Version 05.50)
SystemSoft Plug-n-Play BIOS
Copyright 1983 - 1996 SystemSoft Corp. All Rights Reserved
_______________________________________________________________
32768
<F10> to enter Computer Setup"
Thats all it has on the first screen then says:
"Copyright © 1996 Compaq Computer Corporation. All rights reserved.
120 Mhz Pentium Processor
External Cache: 256K Enabled
Hard disk boot sector invalid
Press 'H' to retry Hard Disk, any other key for floppy"
If i press 'H' it just repeats:
"Hard disk boot sector invalid
Press 'H' to retry Hard Disk, any other key for floppy"
Can anybody help me? Is it a serious problem? Luckily there is nothing on the hard drive i need to keep so please give me ANY suggestions that could help.
Thanks for your time people
