Hey everyone, I was recently reformatting an AST Laptop with:
500mhz cpu
160mb ram
about 3 gig HD

I had windows 98se on it but I dont like 98, because of all the errors and problems that constatly occur. I used Norton Partition Magic 8.0 to delete all information on the HD.

I now get a error saying "No operating system found" which is obvious. Also and error like:

"Save to Disk partition not found
Save to Disk feature is disabled
Run Phdisk for information.
File: creat new. PARTITION: consult manual.
Hit any key to exit."

I have tried going into bios to make cd rom boot and I cant get windows 98se, windows xp, or norton partition magic to boot.

Anyone have any information to help this? Thanks so much in advance!

ok guys, I took a video of what happens a second ago... Here it is:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=yn5V8e3LqJs



Here is the information from the screen:

"No operating system found"



"Save to Disk partition not found

Save to Disk feature is disabled

Run Phdisk for information.

File: creat new. PARTITION: consult manual.

Hit any key to exit."



I can click enter on that, and then this information will stay up and it will say something like "Invalid Partition Table. Setup Cannot continue."
