I have a Compaq that my brother gave me. It worked fine, then I started getting a "Cannot find hard drive" message when I turned the computer on. I would "ctrl-alt-delete" and that would usually take care of the porblem. Then it got worse, and the "ctrl-alt-delete" wouldn't help. I tried to reboot the whole thing off of a Windows 98 cd, but to no avail. Now I just don't get anything at all, except the "cannot find hard drive" message. What do I do now?
 
Go to the setup, i think by pressing F10, and checkout whether it is showing the hard drive there or not. If it is not detecting there also, I think then u have to go for a new hard drive.
