Okay. I got this old laptop some days ago, and I'm trying to rapair it for a internet pc.

In the beginning, a windows 98 welcome screen showed up, and then it just stopped and showed some info about the pc but now the harddrive is gone. :s
I have no BIOS password, and since the old owner doesn't appears anymore, I can't get it.
I've tried to put in a boot disk, created by a WIN xp machine, but when I use it, the autoexe makes a error with a keybrd2.sys file. I've checked all the other files manually, and they works okay. It's a danish keyboard, and I can load the danish keyboard console file from the disk.
I've tried to put in a WIN 98 cd, but I can't find the drive. I hope you guys can help me getting this machine up.
This link will show a movie with the screen, it's recorded with a cellphone, (3gp, then converted to avi), and it shows a startup. I push F1 to continue.

Mountain try using media player classic. :)
Both winamp, wmp and vlc can play it at my computers. Tried to convert into mpeg2, but my quicktime didn't show anything.
