Boot with a startup floppy disk and at the prompt, type: C and press enter. If the 
C:\> prompt comes up, type DIR and press enter. You should get a list of folder and 
files on the drive. If so, then at the A: prompt type fdisk/mbr. You may have to 
also type: SYS C That will copy system files to the hard drive to make it bootable. 

You should get message that the files have been copied. Remove the disk and reboot. 
FYI, the command "fdisk/mbr" will rewrite the master boot record.
