First of, I want to say hi and describe my problem. My 5 year old compaq presario, OS Windows 98 seems to want to retire soon. About 1 out of 5 booting, it would start up by the message:
Unable to access hard drive
Operating system not found on any devices
Press any key to try again.
If I turn it off and on again by the power button, it will load up just fine. I just want to know if there is a way to fix this problem, or is the hd about to die. If you can, please provide me with a little more details in the fix, if there is any, since I am a newbie in this area.
By the way, I have Goback, it is a recovery program that loads even before windows, if that may be the problem.
Thank you very much. I hope for your assisstance.
