Okay, I'm at my wits end now. The problem is this: We took apart my pc to see what was wrong with the disc drive (it needs a new laser, we figured out) and when we put it back together the monitor decided not to work.

When I turn on the computer, the monitor goes black as usual, and then it comes up with these options;

"press F2 to run setup"
and
"press F11 for Boot Menu"

Once we try to run setup, or look at the boot menu, it comes up with this;

"reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot boot device and press a key"

Now the thing is, if it wants me to insert the old boot discs that I got with the pc, the laser on the disc drive is fucked, so it can't read discs. Is this just a catch 22, or is there something I can do?

Any help most appreciated! Thanks in advance.
