Reply: (edit)Insert your boot disk and start your machine. When you are at the command prompt, type SYS C: This will transfer the system files over to your hard drive making it bootable.

Reply: (edit)Before you installed 3.1, did you install DOS on the drive first? What does it say when you attempt to start with a boot disk? Windows 3.1 is just a GUI, it is not an OS. You need to have DOS 3.3 or above installed for 3.1 to work.

I thought it was my hard drive, so I bought a new one but it gives me the same error whether it is the new, the old one, or without one at all. Please help.
