Hi,
You not said if this computer worked before. This kind of error usually caused by missing both hadr drive and floppy drive. If your are sure you have hard drive installed then enter CMOS setup, autodetect hard drive, and set proper type of floppy drive. Now try to reboot. If you still fail then boot with floppy, run FDISK and create partition(s) on your drive. Then format it with FORMAT C: /S command.
