And on the next line. Searching for boot records from Floppy-Not Found. Same words on the next line except IDR-o Not found.
202:Drive not Ready
203: Insert Boot Diskette in A and the next line says Press any key when ready. But when I press a key it just keeps scrolling up.
What is wrong with it? Thanks for any help.

Make sure you are booting from your Hard Drive.
Start PC and when the screen first lights up with text (memory check etc) hit your Delete button (some computers may differ, but most use DEL key to get to BIOS).
In your BIOS you should find the Boot Sequence settings. Your first Boot Device should be your Hard Drive with your CD Rom 2nd and your Floppy last.
The only time your CD Rom needs to be the First Boot device is when you are using your operating system CDs (i.e. Windows) to reinstall or format.
Hit F10 to save and reboot.
If that doesn't work, then perhaps your hard drive is not being recognized by the PC. Check all cables inside the PC and if they are secure, then your HD may have failed and needs to be replaced.
Good Luck.

now and lower back even bios wont permit you examine the cdrom. dos has a pair of information that could help. even the early variations of dos carried those classes. one in all them is mscdex. and yet another is oakdrv.sys the two a sort of paintings collectively to make the bios examine the cdromchronic. maximum gadget boot disks carry this information despite the fact that it relies upon on the wonderful driving force on your cdrom till now it is going to paintings. recommend that in case you cant get the bios to verify it take it to a tech

Either your BIOS is not set to look for the hard disk to boot, or you have a problem with your hard disk drive.

Sounds like your hard drive just crashed...you might be out of luck. Check the cables first...if you don't know what you are doing, take it to a professional.
