Use the FDISK util from the version of DOS you want to run and verify the
HD partition is ACTIVE.  Assuming it is, did you format the HD with the
"/s" (system files) parameter?  erify by checking the root of C (after
booting with the floppy) and look for COMMAND.COM.  If it is there, find
out if you have a virus on your HD.  Hopefully you have a bootable virus
scanning disk ...  If you find one on the C Drive, check the boot floppy
you are using for the virus.  This should get you started.

Good Luck!
