Solve : no boot drive?

1.	Solve : no boot drive?
Answer» Hello everyone, I just bought a dell 8300 from some one off the INTERNET and the computer was working fine when they showed it to me but when I got it home I tried to defragment the hard drive and it started so I leftr it alone when I came back to it it had a black screen and said no boot drive, it also said press f1 for help and f2 to view system, I kept trying to re-boot with no sucess Please HelpPossibly the hard drive has failed. I hope you didn't pay a LOT for it? If it has a floppy drive, download a boot image from bootdisk.com * You will need to run the program to unpack the files on to a floppy disk, now you should be able to start up the pc. you may be able to run a check disk, or scan disk and repair it, but most likely you will have to beg, borrow or BUY a new disk - these are pretty cheap If you have a WINDOWS installation disk, you should be able to boot from that too good luck Graham * Im ASSUMING that as you are posting, you have access to another pc
