"New" Laptop

JFASI · 21st November 2006, 00:08

I got a wreck of a laptop from my friend, and he says he wants nothing of it. It has a 2.8P4 processor, half a gig of ram, and he's offered me the hard drive for $20. I need to fix this thing up.

Here's the problem, though. Whenever I boot it, I get the "NTLDR is Missing." error. I need to find a way around this. I was hoping to run OpenSuSE on this thing and call it a day, but I have to idea if it will boot from CD.

Yeah the NDLDR might be a smoked HD or just some fucked up partitioning. What I would do is go into the BIOS and set it to boot to CD and then you should be good to go.

My lappy's processor is only going at 1.667, but I guess I do have two of them.

That's really nothing to brag about; almost any computer can play UT07 at full graphics.
