| This could be down to one of many problems, but it would be useful to know what you have already tried to rectify the problem. Have you tried clearing the BIOS [using the CMOS clear jumper or taking the battery out, not just from the BIOS menu], and/or looking in the BIOS menu for some kind of OS option?

| Given the age of the laptop, could this be an actual Y2K problem? Can you flash the BIOS from floppy?
