Having problems with an HP nc6400 Laptop.
Here's what happens:
Microsoft Windows splash screen comes up. Then the options for Safe Mode,
Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode with Command Prompt, Last Known Good
Configuration, and Start Windows Normally. I've tried all the options
including Last Known Good Configuration and it returns to same screen. If
nothing is chosen, Windows reboots on its own. I have a full XP Pro
Installation Disc and was going to try a repair of Windows using it. I set
the laptop to boot off CD... Press any key to boot from CD. (Setup is
loading files). Windows Setup screen appears.
I Press R to repair Windows. Next screen is "Setup did not find any hard
disk drive in your computer. Setup cannot continue." The same message appears if you go to actually install Windows. Any ideas? Thanks.
