Thanks for your comprehensive response. &nbsp;When the computer was booting up the disk was not found. &nbsp;So I am assuming it was a hardware problem. &nbsp;I then tried to set the HD as a slave in a working computer and it was not detected.<br />

I'm gonig to opt for a paper weight ;)~

I have an older IBM Netvista P3. &nbsp;The computer was working fine, I powered it down one night, turned it back on in the morning and now during boot-up I get the following error:<br />
<br />
1962 No Operating System Found. &nbsp;Press F1 to repeat boot sequence<br />
<br />
There is an archaic picture of a floppy disk being inserted into a drive. &nbsp;Is my HD dead or did my OS just get wiped?<br />
<br />
What would be the cause of this?

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
