I have a Compaq 7800 laptop with WIn98 2nd ed. that will not boot. When turned on it’s in the hybernation state and then I receive a “non-system disk or disk error. replace and strike any key when ready” error message.Hitting a key just repeats the message regardless of which drive is in the bay (CD or floppy) or what disk is in the drive. The Quickrestore disk has no effect. Control-alt-delete only restarts the computer and the process is repeated. I cannot get into the cmos on bootup or access any drives although they respond to opening and closing.
Any ideas?? Thanks
