Hello again, I am working on a friends Compaq Deskpro and I need to re-
install the operating system. I have fdisk and reformatted the hard
drive and now I can not get the W98 cd to install. I can not get into
the bios either, it has a EZ-Bios which does not allow me to make any
changes. I have tried hitting F10, F8, F11 and delete to try to bring
up a normal bios setup. Can I reset the CMOS battery? Will that help?
I have looked online to try to download the SoftPaq utility but I am
unable to even do that. Can anyone please tell me what could be the
problem and how can I reset the Bios to normal settings. There is no OS
installed on it right now, I have tried W98 and W2K. I only get an
error message tell me to "Replace the disk and the hit any key" Invalid
system disk, I can not get past that point. I am not sure if it is even
reading my disk. I have even tried a W98 Boot disk. All I want it to do
is run from cd-rom do I can install the OS. What can I do? I am stuck!
Is there a better site to download the SoftPaq utility other than the
HP/Compaq site?
Thanks,
Cindy
