I have been trying to operate a Compaq SLT286 I found in my garage not so long ago. I think the BIOS battery is dead as every time I boot, it comes up with "162-System Options not Set"
I placed the diagnostics program onto a floppy disk and insert it into the laptop. It then comes up with this message:
"No Systemdisk. Booting from harddisk
Cannot load from harddisk.
Insert Systemdisk and press any key."
What kind of System Disk does it need as it doesn't specify? As well, do you know how to shut the computer down from the DOS Prompt?
