Solve : Newbie needing to fix an old laptop? |
|
Answer» HEY, I have an old laptop that has, for lack of better termology, gone on the fritz. It is an AMS from around 1995 that was given to me as is. It was working slowly, but surely, auto ranning Norton Antivirus, when I stopped it. The computer made a sctratchy noise through its built in speakers and completely froze. I turned it off, (flipped the power switch) and waited 10 seconds, rebooted and it started showing: The following file is missing or corrupted: Himem.sys There is an error in your config.sys file on line 2 then it displays the microsoft (R) windows 95 (c) 1981-1995. then it started asking for a system DISK. I have no CLUE what to do with it now. is there anyone that can help me? MUCH thanks in advance to whoever can help. Davedownload a win95 boot disk<www.bootdisks.com>......and try the scandisk /all command or scanreg/fix.....have you had all problems booting this before?what is the hard drive make.... for eg>.travelstar ibm? |
