Touchdown! Greaser!
(I am told by HP) The hard drive in my HP Elite 8000 died so I ordered a new one. The computer is a refurb and did not come with a system-restore disk but HP says $10, they will send. I was hoping to confirm the computer is functioning before having that sent so I installed the replacement HDD and started it up. HP tech says, make sure the bios is working or something like that.
Upon startup with the new disk; "Non-system disk or disk error. Replace and strike any key when ready." Certainly the new HDD is ok. Do I need the OS disk to ensure everything is working?
Also, a note with the new disk say to format it before using. The linked instructions seem to have Windows installed on the example disk they are using.
