Answer» can you help me solve this PROBLEM...and my ibm laptop says ` operating system not found` thanx.Check that there isn't a floppy DISK in the DRIVE.What Operating System do you have installed?If you have no floppy in the drive and the CDROM is empty, and your HD lacks the root OS kernel files, you can:
Boot to the CDROM (if the BIOS allows) and do an XP repair install (if it's XP) or start to DOS and USE the SYS utility (from a Win9x CD).
With Win9x, put an 'EBD' floppy in the floppy drive and boot to it, and use the SYS command to mount the minimal kernel files.
Boot to the CDROM with a Knoppix LiveCD, and use Linux to try to repair the damaged file system.
With either option, you need to get into your HD to see if you have any files there first before deciding what to do...
