I bought a laptop on ebay and the seller claimed that the laptop would be ready to go out of the box. I received the laptop and when I turned it on I got non system or disc error replace and strike any key when ready. I contacted the seller and sent it back. The seller said they would look at it. I received an e-mail from the seller claiming that when it was plugged in they went to windows xp with no problem. I got it back and the same error message came up. Any suggestions from anyone?
