I was hoping that this 5.25 floppy wasn't going to make any difference, but
you know all that gobildy goof at the beginning of the start up where it says
all about the computer, it says Diskette A none, diskette B none.
I did downlaod the winme bootdisk from where you said, but when I put it in,
it totally ignored it and carries on as normal.
I think I had better take this machine in to the shop, what do you say.
Do you think it will be retreavable, with someone a bit more adapt at the
controls.
As I say its a neighbours, so she wants to know is it worth saving,
considering the prices on some of these laptops these days. In other words do
you think it would cost more to mend it than, say half the price of a desk
top.
