I followed instructions for install and clean
install, I am still having problems for instance; on
startup I get msg "cannot find bios from diskette or
harddrive".
In addition it won't boot at all sometimes,
crahses when I try to install software, beeps incessantly
on startup, and there is a white setup scan line at the
bottom of the screen on boot up. Now it's just dead.
Good you advise please.

I should let you know I do not have an internet connection
right now, could this be part of the problem?
