You don't say what model the laptop is. :-? That would be helpful. Does the laptop have a floppy drive and/or cdrom drive? If a floppy, see if it will boot to a Windows 98 boot disk, get to the A:\ and type c:\ then DIR That should give you the contents of the hard drive. Post back with what you get. Get a boot disk at: http://www.bootdisk.com/ If a cdrom drive and you have a Windows 2000 Pro or XP boot to it (XP preferable as it has more drivers). Alan <>< |
