Hi,
a few weeks ago I got a prolinea 4/100 Desktop. The built in battery is out of order. I only see the counting of the RAM, there is no bios available.
The computer beeps twice and boot either from a bootable floppy or from the new build in harddisk after I made it bootable.
I found out, that the Bios can be accessed with a system partition. first i have to create this special partition and that is the problem.
I don't know what I need to do this. I found a special "diagnostic-disk" which is able to create the 2MB system partition, but it also needs
a "setup" disk to do so. I hav not found this disk, all I found was a setup.exe that requires Windows running so what do I need to setup
this computer correctly?
After getting access to the Bios I have to find a away to change the Bios-Battery. I think that is not possible with the original built in,
but it is possible to connect a external one at a special connector.
Please help me getting this thing to work properly again 😀
Thx
