Can I flash the BIOS on a Compaq Presario 7360 if Win98 is not runnning? I downloaded the update and the vague instructions implied that it should be running.
The old Quantum LB 10.0AT HDD died(FAT gone), could be virus. I tried to install a new 30Gb WD HDD and the BIOS did not read it properly and would not restore the Win98 OS. [The BIOS setup utililty is in a partition on the HDD(now dead)]. I tried the Compaq support forum about a week ago, but no response yet; might be the changeover. Any help would be appreciated.
