Kids Presario 1400 No Operating System Found

HELP!!

We have a Compaq Presario 1400 series laptop that went haywire one day and the battery went dead... when it did... when we try to turn it back on it only says " NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND"

Will the system restore disk work on fixing this problems or has anyone else heard of this problem before??

You may be able to restore it, but it sounds like the Hard Drive might be going....

I know that when you go back in to the settings... it doesn't show a hard drive at all... only a cd-rom... so does that mean it's not reconizing the hard drive like I have read in some forums... or is the hard drive shot?

I don't suppose you have a spare hard drive, if you did you could try it and see which is happening, but I would bet that the hard drive is dead. But I know very little about that laptop.

I do have a hard drive here that works. (matter of fact I have 2) but I didn't know if regular hard drives for a desktop would work for a laptop... (first time I've had any dealings with a laptop)

I don't think a regular drive would work in a laptop without a converter... hold on...

see plenty of laptop to desktop, but don't know if they work the other way around, try google...
