Hello, this is my first time here, can somebody please help me with the following problem?:
I have an IBM Thinkpad i series 1459 and the original owner did something to the computer, so when I turn it on it shows only a message saying "Missing operating system."
I got a bootable CD with the computer, it's a bootable Windows ME (originally the computer was using windows 2000). I inserted the CD, turned off the computer, turned on again and I had some choices, the standard... was selected, after that a blue screen is shown. On top it shows E: Edit, R: Run, etc. By the middle of the screen it shows:
FILMIN.COM
FILMINE.CNF
FILMINE.COM
FILMINE.EXE
FMCUSTE.EXE
I can highlight any of them (to select, I suppose), I didn't have idea what to select or what to do next, so I pressed 'Quit' and now I got a prompt like this:
A:\>
What should I do now?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
