| 209845 | 2004-01-25 10:08:00 | I have inserted and rebooted from a system recovery CD, into a Pavilion 4403 (Win 98) all go's well, selecting "format and recover". When rebooting after a "successful recover screen" a message that the OS is missing. (The BIOS is set to boot from the CD) I have searched on the HP site and checked the FDISK message and followed this through, but with no change. Any assistance would be gratefully accepted. Thanks |
