Make sure your BIOS is set to boot from your Hard Drive. By the looks of things it’s set to boot only from CD then Floppy.

how would I change it to BOOT from HDD if that screen is as far as I can get?

 

When on the First startup screen see if you can see “Press xx to enter Setup”. Just tap the key it says then have a look around in the first few menus to see if you can see anything like “Boot Sequence”. If you can then adjust it to boot from the Hard Drive first.

doesn't get far enough

 

Umm, not a clue!! Suggest you wait for another user to help you out.

 

thanks

Looks like that guy had to flash his BIOS. Try and see if you can do the same. Remember your Motherboard may be diffrent. Unfortunatley that is something I have never had to do so you will have to follow closely because I can't help really.

I know I need to flash it but I can find what I need I went to asus.com and looked all over

 

Just Google It!

 

I spend an hour googling it and called HP and talked to 3 pros and they are stumpted

 

Suggest you wait until the Morning (Living in the UK I want to go a bed as i've had a long day and its half 10 here) when some else can give you a hand with it because I dont have much experience of BIOS flashing.

Dave

 

alright thanks

 

..anyone?

 

Is anyone gonna help this guy out. I dont know what to do because i've never flashed a BIOS!

Dave

 

I don't know if clearing the CMOS would help, but I sure would give it a try.

Software and driver downloads for your machine. BIOS update is there as well. Try it out. Cant hreally make things worse.

OK...sorry about that. Thought it was going to create a floppy image for you. Check this link out.

Could it be a simple dead battery???? Probably a CR2032 or CR2025. You can get them at radio shack or best buy typically. Take the old one with you just to be sure you get the right one.
