The Fizz Book use the Windows XP operating system, so essentially it should start-up the same as any other Windows Laptop. Either there is truly no operating system installed (these things happen with any mass production at times), which I doubt, or the BIOS can't find Windows to load it. I would first go into the BIOS set up and make sure that it's set to boot from 'hard disk drive'. When you first power on the laptop, watch the bottom of the screen to see if you get a menu then press the appropriate 'F' (function) key, F2 on my Toshiba laptop, then hold it down until a set up screen appears. If you don't get this first menu, the screen that says 'no operating system' may have a set up option.
When you get to the BIOS menu choose 'Boot', then make sure that it is set to boot from 'hard disk' .
Personally though, I would go to the store where you bought it and demand an exchange before doing anything. There is just no excuse for this to have slipped through quality control and making it's way to a consumer. If you have other questions, please contact me. Good luck!

It telling us exactly that the system cannot detect any operating system on your hard drive, so what you can do here is to run a XP installation cd or any operating system installation cd to install a operating system on it..
