Alright, so I have a Compaq Armada 4160t laptop from about 1996, and it is physically in great condition.
However there is a couple problems. Whenever I format, I lose my boot sector, thus making it not possible to access the bio, so I have to download it and install the bios via floppy.
Anyways, I formatted, and shortly after my floppy broke somehow, so I have no boot sector, no cd-rom drivers, nor a floppy.
What is there for me to do to get my laptop up and running again?
Thanks for your time.
