Well, in the Main screen there's something that said something about
Primary
and Secondary Slaves and Masters IDE choices and other alien species,
but I did see the keyword "sectors", so I chose Auto then F10 to save
changes
and exit.  I rebooted without F2 into the BIOS setup and I now get a black
monitor with the words Operating System not found.

Did I do what you said?  Do I have a working hard drive?

Thanks for helping  :)
cheers,
Diane
