My mother's hard drive was destroyed a couple of weeks ago.
She didnt back up any of her files. I recently bought a new hard
drive (same model as the destroyed one). I swapped the drive,
and I am now receiving a message on boot up saying
"No operating system found on hard drive". This was
hardly unexpected, but all I have is a System Restore CD
that came with the computer, but it is not working with the
new hard drive. Windows was preinstalled, so I do not
have a Windows Installation disc, so I was wondering if
there were any step to take to get this up and running, like
going into the BIOS and changing any setting.
Here are the computer specs:
Compaq Presario 7000US
Maxtor 80GB Hard drive model 9819H8
Windows ME
Any help is appretiated!
Thank you!
