Subject: RE: IBM Hard Drive
Hi there,
I have seen a similar message like this when I tried to boot a quite old PC.
Old PC's had a BASIC interpreters in their ROMs, and when there was no
bootable floppy or HD in the system, it automatically
started up the BASIC interpreter, giving the famous : OK prompt.
Looks to me that your HD is not bootable.
If you have a floppydrive with that system, just try booting with an MS/IBM
dos floppy that contains utilities like FDISK and FORMAT.
After seeing the DOS prompt, try loggin on to the C: drive (HD)
If not possible, run FDISK and see if your drive is partitioned/formatted.
Let me know if this was helpful.
Cheers
Robbert
