    Work laptop failure

    Right ive been given 10 laptops at work to fix and ive done nine, mostly just reformating and reinstalling windows etc but the last one is a bit different. when i turn it on on the boot up it just goes to a black background and at the top left corner says Operating system not found. Now i have a feeling that it might be a harddrive failure. do i have to replace the hard drive totally or might there be a way to fix it. this company likes to spend very little money so the cheaper the better lol

    It is a Samsung p28. a bit oldschool


    If you are looking for a new sig ill give it a go

    What Weets said, try a Windows reinstall. If Windows can't find a drive to install to then there's a chance there's a HDD problem.
