hehe when i was looking for another disk to put in the laptop i saw that the computer went back to that number it was showing when i first turned on the laptop i dont know why it did that so i tried to get that non system disk message back and now i cant disks that i have downloaded dont seem to be getting the laptop to work
i downloaded and put onto floppies those things from the website you gave me but they didnt work either i am getting really frustrated i really dont want to take the laptop to someone to have them look at it
okay the number now says 81920 KB OK with the tiny line underneath hehe
Sounds like the harddrive may be missing.Did the unit work before it was purchased?
If its very old they used to require a set up disk to configure the system.What model number is it?
...or bad. Can you turn laptop up side down, remove HD cover, and see, if it's there?
Where would that be on this laptop ive never had a laptop before where should i be looking
i'll have to see what the model number is
well i know its a compaq armada 1540d hehe
okay i think theres no hard drive in it my sister has almost the same exact laptop and when i opened up the bottom of one compartment near the back there was a circuit board in hers and not in the one i'm trying to get going
i think that circuit board is the memory not sure hehe i'm too afraid to open up the laptop and look inside to see if hard drive is there
as to opening hd cover i dont know where that is on the armada 1540d hehe
is it that little tiny square with two screws on it i opened that and saw something in there but couldnt make out what it was unless i take the whole bottom off
i was told if there wasnt a hard drive i wouldnt get anything on the screen i was getting all kinds of messages i had tried to install windows 95 and it said cant install window 95 missing hard drive, missing hard drive special driver and something else that i cant remember

Hard drive - chapter 7.9
This is really old laptop from mid 90s with 1GB hard drive. I don't know, if you really wanna play with it.
And unless you can find the right Bios update,you are limited to a 2 GB hdd.
I suggest getting a new laptop.
