Unfortunately, Michele is wrong. You cannot make C: the default drive if you
don't already have a partition. It is correct to run FDISK from the A: drive
(if that is what you booted).  It is most likely from the problem
description that either there is no hard disk in the system, or the hard
disk is not being recognized by the BIOS. Would be nice to hear from Ralph
to learn what the situation was.
