Hello, can anyone help me. I need info to setup bios, cmos setup info for nec prospeed 386 notebook computer. what keys do i use to go to setup?

I am trying to set up a Nec ProSpeed 386 Laptop. It has lost the bios seetings. The battery seems to be working now. I have tried all the setup menu key combinations and think that it requires a setup disk instead. I got one from the Nec Australia site (L3hwsets.exe). However, I have not gotten it to work properly. It is a compressed disk. It formats a target disk and then hangs up.

I asked Nec Technical Support for internet sources of information about the ProSpeed 386 Laptop. They asked me to telephone: Legacy Product Support (978) 742-7051 They didn't say if there would be a charge in addition to the phone call.

I have the Prospeed setup program. If you still need it let me know. Also if you have any experience on upgrading please let me know. Apparently the hard disk has a different connector arrangement than current drives for notebooks.

Hi, Several people in Europe sent me various setup programs for the hard drive. I still have to try them out. I got some North American setup programs from the Nec ftp site, but they do not give a way to change the hard drive settings. I would appreciate it if you could send me your setup program so that I can try it out. I think that my 40 meg hard drive is kaput, so I probably need a program which will allow setting for a large hard drive. Many thanks for your reply. Art, B.C., Canada
