I'm having problems with my computer. I'm getting the following errors:
Primary Master Hard Disk Fail
Primary Slave Hard Disk Fail

Computer Specifications:
Award Modular BIOS V4.51PGM
Award Plug and Play BIOS Extension V1.0A
Intel i440LX PCIset
233Mhz Pentium II-MMX

I currently have a 428 MB hard drive as my primary master and a 6 GB as my
primary slave.

I have entered my BIOS to reset the IDE hard drive specifications without
success. My BIOS is not acknowledging a primary master, but is acknowledging
my primary master as the primary slave. I'm not sure why. Because it is
basically setting my primary master as the primary slave, I'm not able to
get in the operating system. The system allows me to continue the boot up
process, but then stops at:

Verifying DMI Pool Data
Disk Boot Failure, INsert System Disk and Press Enter

Any help with this problem is appreciated!

TIA,

Steve
