At what point are you getting the message and exactly what does it say?

What happened between the last time it worked OK and the first time it didn't? Did you make any hardware changes? Was it damaged in any way?

You will probably need to download the software required to identify your hard drive from the manufacturer.ROMpaq ect..

Does it indeed have a drive installed? Dave is right. You really need to provide some information.

thanks guys and gals for your help on this one. after a few hours of playing with it found out the hard drive was indeed bad that had come with the computer. put one of our other hard drives in it that we knew worked and it worked fine. dont know what was wrong with this hard drive only thing i could figure was that it was due to the conditions it was in when we got it. the CPU had been outside in the weather so i didnt even think i could get any of the parts like motherboard and all to work but all worked fine other than the hard drive. i had bought it mainly for the cd rw that was on it but got a pretty good little hewlett packard out of the deal for 10 dollars. again thank you for trying to help.
