While booting up my Micron Millenia Pentium II PC I run into the following error message: "Operating system not found" and cannot proceed beyond this point. I have used a win98 boot disk and a Norton Utilities rescue disk to try to solve this problem to no avail. I have tried the following (suggested by another pc forum site) with no luck:
1. SYS C: (Resulted in following message: "invalid drive specification"
2. FDISK /MBR (Resulted in following: "no fixed disks present"
3. Loaded BIOS setup defaults (Result: no change - still cannot access hard drive)
Any further suggestions would certainly be appreciated. Thanks!

Try reseating the ribbon and power cables. Sometimes these can become loose over time.

Let me ask you this about that?

Is the hard drive recognized in the bios?

Success! It was indeed a loose ribbon cable connecting my hard drive to the motherboard that was causing all the problems. Thanks for all your help! You guys are the greatest!
