Issue: Missing Operating System.

Cause:
The following are a listing of the different causes of Missing Operating
System:

Missing or corrupted command.com or other boot files.
Computer Virus
Boot Record is corrupted.
Hard drive has failed or has been erased.
Solution:

If you are receiving the Missing Operating System error message it is
recommended that you follow the below steps to resolve the issue.

Using a write protected bootable diskette, boot from the diskette and type
"sys c:" after pressing enter this should give you the message system
transferred. Once this has been completed reboot the computer. If you get
any other messages see our Boot disk page.
If the number one does not resolve your issue boot from the diskette again
and at the prompt type "fdisk /mbr" and press enter this should just return
you back to the prompt. Once back at the prompt reboot the computer.
Finally if one and two are unable to resolve you issue it is recommended
that you boot from the boot diskette again and reinstall or format and
reinstall the operating system again.
