Hello, My Name is Jeff and I'm New here. I'm not sure if I'm even in the right place or not ,But, I could use some Help!
I was given a compaq persario 4508, The fellow that gave it to me said it worked, Well, when I got it home and set it up it Gave me a message that say's "OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND"! Here's the worst part, I was given some Disk's with it,But one of the disk's are missing! This is what the disk sticker says Title:Windows 3.1- Style: Win 300 Level: 3.1 Disk 1 of 6. I'm missing Disk 3. I wasn't given any other Disk's other than these.
I've tried to see what happens when I put the # 1 Disk in the Floppy, Nothing Happens, It Gives me a Message that say's " ERROR INCORRECT DATA OR INCORRECT SYSTEM DISK"
The Computer does allow me to go into the system set-up menu, but, unless you know exactly what you are looking for *** Well you know what I mean.. Can Anyone Help? I have Called the Manufacturer and they said that the Application Restoration Disk's are not Available anymore..Ive went to Microsoft's Webpage and Looked, I can't seem to find anything there either.. I'm lost Could Someone Please Help??? Thanks. Jeff in VA.
P.S. I forgot to say/ When I first Turn on The Computer the word COMPAQ comes up on the screen, then it goes to the ERROR MESSAGE..If this means anything???
