Your BIOS is probably busted. Replace it. See beep codes or if you have a post card even better

Sounds like you have no bootable drive. The old IBM AT BIOS would boot into ROM BASIC if no bootable disk (hard or floppy) was detected on bootup. The clone BIOS did the same thing (but usually neglected having the BASIC in ROM). You have a hard drive or floppy on this system?

yup,.. it's most likey not finding a bootdisk!
Generally, the cause is either that the system files have been erased or corrupted. The other common reason is that the hard drive has been defined improperly in the CMOS SETUP. Investigate the second possibility first. If you start reading and writing to a badly configured hard drive, you'll louse the data up, but GOOD! If you need to determine the settings for your drive, take a look at THE REF 4.3. THE REF 4.3 is a collection of text files of specs for lots of different catagories of hardware, hard drives included. Good luck!
