I went to boot up the pc and it said f1 to reboot or f2 to go into setup. I
went into setup and all i see in the boot sequence is the floppy drive. I
don't see the cdrom or the c: drive. Does anyone know why?
Does this have to do w/ 200 AS? I put in a floppy disk and on the command
prompt I can go to the c drive. But I can boot to it. I need help, thanks in
advance!
 
If you have lost both the CD and C: drive it sounds like a hardware/BIOS
issue.

Definitely a hardware issue, not software.

You are unlikely to see the cdrom or c drive if these are SCSI devices (and
thus not controlled by the pc's bios).

Alternately, if these devices are IDE then I would power down, pop the case
and check that none of the cables have worked loose - the ribbon cable from
the motherboard to the cdrom and disk being the one to check.

Hope this helps,

Brian.
