I bought a busines hp pc from a closing down auction. model number DM504T ABU
They wiped the harddrive before I got to it so I thought it was as simple as reinstalling windows. I have tried several ways to install windows either by direct boot from cd, which doesnt work and using a boot disk in the floppy and then trying to install windows from the cd. When the boot disk is finished it always changes the cdrom drive letter to e and manages to find a d drive and install certain tools on it even tho I don't have a partitioned hard drive. When trying to acces e drive it just won't have any of it.
Has anyone got any answers? When you first switch pc on is says cable is missing. I have disabled everything to do with the lan but it still says this.
Thanks in advance
