Hello !
My main problem is with my 10M hard drive.  It's not booting up from 
the hard drive, even though, there is everything it need to boot.
When I start the computer, it doesn't boot and shows the message 
saying "Missing Operating system."

I wiped out everything and reformated the hard drive with /s option, 
that is "format c:/s", and I also tried to format without /s option and 
tranferred the system by typing "sys c:" and copying command.com to c:,
of course.  No error is been occured during formating, and message says
"system tranfer completed."  I even run the Norton utility program to check if 
there is anything wrong with it.  But I couldn't find any problem.  
The funny thing is that once it's been boot up from the floopy disk
drive, it works perfectly well. I mean hard drive.  I can delete, copy,
write, etc...

Does anybody have any idea what the problem is?
