Hello,
My uncle just sent me his Compaq Presario 1200 Notebook because he has had some problems with it. For starters, he dropped the notebook case down the stairs. The hard drive has something loose inside, and rattles when lightly shaken. Everything else seems fine. He got a new Hitachi hdd, and said that he got Windows 98 on it, but when it arrived today, it just sits at the initial Compaq Screen. I have the Windows 2000 CD in the drive, and it just sits there for hours. It doesn't give any options for BIOS or anything, just the Compaq log screen. Any help is greatly appreciated.
