Your hard drive is most likely bad or the ribbon cable is not connected.

Yep, your operating system has crashed, not your hard drive, but the windows on the hard drive..

simply boot from your windows cd / dvd and choose upgrade as the instillation type or leave current file systems intact so as you install windows over again, you dont loose your previous data..

the laptop is unable to read operating sistem from disk - you have to try to insert recovery disk after changing in the bios (you can read on laptop manual how come in bios for changing to first boot is hard disk to first boot is cdrom or dvd or cd ) after that you can try to       recovery the operating sistem - it may be not so easy delfo

You're on the right track. For whatever reason it failed an operating system repair is in order. You need to use the same operating system XP Home / Pro / MCE as was originally on the unit. Mayve a relative of friend. Don't use restore disks. These will erase everything on the drive.

Says boot device not found .please install an operating system on your hard disk

it means there is no operating system on the device you are using to boot your computer. make sure you have your boot device set to your hard drive unless you are installing a new operating system if so your first boot device should be your cd/dvd and your HD peta/seta IDE second .

The key supplied with my lap top doesn't verify?

Really? So, which operating system are you running and does the key match that operating system?

Click Start/Control Panel/System or System and Performance. The General Tab will tell you what operating system is running. Does it match your key's operating system?

Did you by chance Reinstall Windows with a different version of the operating system than what is on your Certificate of Authentication (COA) Sticker? That's a problem if you did.

When I turn my compaq presario 2500 lap top on it tells me the operating system is not found. I have tried everything I know [which is next to nothing] with no sucess. Can you help me please. Di

Hi,

I think it would be better to have the recovery cd or operating system cd for your machine because the operating system is already corrupted.

Operating system not found

Oops---virus may have destroyed the boot sector on your hard disk. Is there a CD in the optical drive, or a floppy in the floppy drive?? If so, remove before booting. If that's not the issue, you need to reinstall the operating system.

As far as original discs---perhaps you can get replacements from Sony if they still support the laptop?
