You error is from the cmos/bios saying it can not find a hdd to boot from.

Boot with the floppy and run fdisk select option #4 ,say YES to large disk support. Does it have an A (Active) under Status for any partition?

If you get an error "No fixed disks" , you will need to reboot and get into the BIOS setup and be sure the hdd is seen. Any other errors stop and post back with error.

If you have no Active partition with fdisk select option #2 and make the correct partition active.

If you have an Active partition and no error message, exit fdisk, and from dos prompt run "fdisk mbr", reboot without floppy. If you are duel booting, have a Disk Overlay program in the MBR or have any non stardard MBR do not run command and post back. NOte: if the hdd has more the 1 primary partition it can cause other repairable problems , normally it has no problem.
