Solve : ms dos 3.31 HELP!?

Answer»

I have a paperweight pc in my basement and wanted to boot it up and see what I could do on it, maybe play some old floppy games on it, whatever else.

Well it is a HEWLETT PACKARD VECTRA 386/25

when i HIT the power button a few seconds LATER a screen show this:

error code 800D 0250 system test reports error, run setup disck version C.02.00 or greater.

The computer itself has a floppy drive and a 3 1/2 inch disc drive.

I know this thing is older than dirt, It was in the basement when i moved in

I just want to know if I can get it to al least navigate enough to run some floppy games for the BOY...well me too.Sounds like a hardware error, probably the motherboard, before DOS even loads. You may want to google for the error code or check on the HP support site.

If you want to start by replacing the old CMOS BATTERY you can pursue it, but you would have to start there. Probably not worth the time and trouble, UNFORTUNATELY.
