Hi all,
I've got this Compaq Contura 486 laptop of which I'm trying to breathe some life into. Apparently the HDD has gone missing. When I used Compaq's Contura setup diskettes, it suggested that my Harddrive's "Not installed". What does this mean? I can't even boot up my computer properly. If, without my floopy in it, the message reads, "Non System disk or disk error..."
