ok, it turns out the last thing I read on the screen is " Operating
System Not Found" and whatever key I push that message keeps popping
up over and over again. I hope that helps. I've changed the boot
order back to floppy, hard drive, and CD-ROM. It was CD-ROM first as
if someone had loaded up an OS on it and not gone back into BIOS and
put the boot order back in order. I also changed the straps to the
hard drive, which probably isn't it anyways because the monitor LED is
green, and if the strap was loose or bad, I think the monitor LED
would stay yellow? It's happened before, but I figured to give
anything a shot to troubleshoot this problem.
Your hard drive has failed and/or your motherboard's drive controller
has failed. This is a hardware issue that has nothing to do with
Windows. In order to determine if the failure is with the hard drive,
you need to download the diagnostic utility from the hard drive mftr.'s
website - the link that Dave Patrick has already given you. You will
create a bootable cd or floppy with the file you download. Then boot
with this media that you just created and do a thorough test. If the
hard drive fails any physical tests, replace it.
