Trying to hook up Laptop but getting error ""insert system disk and drive""
This is the laptop that came with my car/haltech E6K and this is the laptop that was used to tune it before. So, I'm trying to turn it on but getting the error: ""insert system disk and drive"".
What in the same hell can I do to fix this ?
Please, dumb it down for me ? Do I need to put something on a hard disk and shove it in there ?

It cant read the system file. Boot a dos disk and see if the c drive is still available. Most likely blown boot partition. If you can boot to a dos floppy you can try to repair the partition.

Well, I put the DOS 6.22 Boot Disk on a little hard disk, I also had a kan map on there too. I tried to load that up but it still didn't work. It kept telling me to remove the disk and try again or something like that. Should I remove the Kan map so the only thing on there is the boot disk ?

wait, why do you think you need a new laptop? obviously the mobo is fine, since it will boot to the A drive. is the harddrive bad? you can probably get a new harddrive for it on ebay for super cheap. Just reinstall Dos 6.22, then the haltech sw and youre set
