Hi, new forum member so please be gentle with me...
I'm trying to help someone out here... I've got an old Compaq Presario - DQ079A and am trying to get it to boot with a Western Digital WD800 hard-drive on which Windows 98SE is installed.
I have had the hard drive working in another HP PC - a not very new Evo D330 and its fine, but when I try and boot in the Presario it recognises the Primary drive but then presents a Non System Disk Error - press a key to restart - message.
The Presario has an MSI/Award motherboard MS-6577 ver 2.1 and Award BIOS v6.00PG.
The pc would be used as backup for a printing machine for which we cannot find the software - other than on the hard drive in question.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks for reading....
