Hello,

I am trying to help a family member fix their Presario 700 Laptop using XP. When I attempt to boot up, I receive the message “Operating System Not Found”. I am able to get into the BIOS screens. It has been suggested by my research that I first check whether the hard drive is recognized. Where in the BIOS screens do I check for this? The title is PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility. I see verbiage that says:

Parallel Port is enabled
Mode: ECP/EPP
Base I/O Address: 378
DMA Channel 3

The next screen lets you choose from where to boot up from. The Hard Drive option will yield the “Operating System Not Found” message’
