re: problem with starting up: operating system not found Tuesday, February 27, 2007 at 5:57 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Pam (3 messages posted) I'm having this same problem but with my IBM thinkpad. We don't have a boot or restore disc for the laptop so my husband figured he could fix it by putting the restore disc from our Nobilis computer. now the only thing we can get into is f1 IBM bios setup utility. I use my laptop for work and I'm at a loss as to what to do. Please help.
