NEC Versa C200 Laptop Repair Solved/Closed

Question

Good evening and above all, thank you to the people who will have the kindness to help me! I'm trying to fix a friend's laptop that is broken; anyway, I'll skip the details.
The laptop, when I picked it up, was impossible to start, it showed on the screen:
no bootable cd in atapi cd-rom
invalid HDD
press "H" to retry Hard disk, any other key for floppy

I put an installation CD of 98SE or XP in the CD drive, I can't remember which one, anyway both work, I got into the operating system, but it kept crashing, so no problem I thought let's do a proper format, which I did. It had two partitions that I deleted and I created one single partition, no problem there. Where it gets tricky is during the installation, it gets stuck 8 minutes from the end and then it starts over for a new installation. I put the 98SE CD in and it takes it entirely, except that it's in 16 colors, I am missing some drivers but what annoys me is installing 98 instead of the XP Pro that it had before. I managed to borrow a bootable CD; the problem is it asks for a command like install in 98, and it doesn't work for XP. Thank you again for your help.

Configuration: NEC Vers C200 portable PC, AMD XP-M, 256 RAM

You know, you don't need to scratch yourself about me! For that, I don't need your help; I mostly need a good hand to help me out (and especially to help my buddy through me), because his PC has been sitting in his closet for six months, and it was about to go in the trash. I'm not joking, he got it in return for a non-paid job; he's a mason, so you see. And I want to point out that my troubleshooting is always for lost causes or recovering old PCs, free of charge and just for fun! So if you can help, great; otherwise, thanks! And that's it.

check in the BIOS if the hard drive is correctly
detected, and its quality

blow some compressed air into the machine to properly clean the coprocessor's radiator

check the quality of the system CD

either it's a hardware issue
or it's a software issue

check the hardware first

Good evening and thank you for your help!
To explain better, when I first launch it, it opens a page with NEC in big letters and below, in very small print, it tells me to press the F2 key to enter the CMOS setup; I've done that but it doesn't work. Then it tells me, like above, that it's installing the existing operating system, 98SE, with its installation CD (booting from the hard drive).
With the 98SE installer, I have access to the MS-DOS command prompt if that can help us, and thanks again!!!!

tony · Answer

Salut, pour accéder à l'espace dans le BIOS, il faut que tu mettes ton CD en premier pour qu'il soit bootable, et ton HDD de même. Si tu n'aimes pas rentrer dans le BIOS, je ne te conseille pas d'y aller.
