Emachines model m622-uk8x. no operating system

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
hey everybody i have a problem. i have a emachines m622-uk8x (W4620) and a couple of years ago a friend of mine tried to fix it, something was wrong with it i cant remember what it was now, but after his attempt when i would turn it on i got a message saying "no operating system fnd i can not find the restore disk and the serial number is rubed off the bottom so i dont think emachines can help me with out the serial number. so im kinda stuck and dont know what to do. i found a windows xp disk around the house but it isnt working im getting error messages so im kinda at a loss for my next step. if someone can help it will be greatly appricated.

after putting in the disk and agreeing it says:

The following lists shows the existing partitons and unpartitioned space on this computer


use up and down arrows to select item list

*to set up windows xp on the selected item, press enter

*to create partition in the unpartitioned space, press c

* to delete the selected partition, press d
then inside a box under all that it sys:

8057 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi

(setup cannot access this disk)
