My Compaq Presario 7360 running Win98se crashed.  I wouldn't start in SAFE
MODE.  I kept getting the no O/S on any system.  I went through all 3 Start
Up Options on the Boot Disk.  Went through everything in the Help Menu.  ie
SYS C:   and SCANDISK,   and SCANDISK  /ALL   and SCANDISK /ALL /SURFACE
and    CHKDSK   and FDISK.EXE   and FDISK.EXE /STATUS   and FORMAT C: /S
All seemed to go well, except SCANDISK /MOUNT E  when I got the msg. that it
couldn't find E.  At EXT I put in the WIN98se disk and followed the
commands.  I got a msg that it couldn't find WIN98, Bad Command or file
Name.  I tried using an ole WIN95 boot disk.  It went to the COMPAQ QUICK
RESTORE, but then I got "Compaq error 180.14 or 182.14" msg.  Of course, I
could find anything on the Compaq website, and only 1 newgroup came up.
I was planning to give this comp. to my granddaughter who has ADHD and
really needs some help.  Now what?

Help,

The procedure for re-installing Windows 98 is described here:

If you have problems with this procedure, be sure to report the exact steps
you were following and the last step you took immediately before the error
message.
