Hi guys n gals, need some help badly methinks. Trying to help a friend with a computer he was given as a gift but I am wayyyy out of my depth here...I can program the things but I dunno how to make them start lol
Here's the deal. From switching on computer it goes thru these display screens (I've logged basically everything that looked like holding any information...not exact copy)
BIOS v4.50GG
Pentium-S CPU at 75Mhz
32Mb Ram
AwardPlug n Play BIOS Extension V1.0A
Initialising Plug and Play Cards...
PNP Initialised
--------
Thats the first screen...memory test goes okay
-------
CPU Type : Pentium S
Co-Processor : Installed
CPU Clock : 75 Mhz
Base Memory 640k
Extended Memory 31744k
Cache Memory 256k
Primary Master : None
Primary Slave : Type 45, 104mb
Secondary Master : None
Secondary Slave : Type 45, 104Mb
Display Type EGA/VGA
Serial Ports 3F8 2F8
Parallel Ports 378
Pipeline Burst SRAM
---------
Screen then goes blank and comes up with this error
Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disc and Press Enter
Okay, now we have windows 95 on floppy disc and also a boot disc that came with it...insert boot disc...error returns...insert windows setup floppy...error returns.
Basically, is the patient dead or just very ill? lol
Thanks, all help appreciated.
