PROBLEM WITH C: HARD DISK

I have an old 386 machine. When I switch it on the message 'non system disk or disk error' appears. I can boot it up using a system disk from another PC but this is not ideal.

In addition I cannot get into Windows 3.1 as the himem.sys file cannot be located - but the correct path appears in the config.sys file.

Any advice would be appreciated
