The message is ( in my horrid translation ) "No operating system. Replace system disk and press any key".. Are you sure you have made your computer recognise the hard disk in BIOS ?
yes, after i put the good DOS drive in the CMOS correctly identified the drive and its parameters, i.e. cyl,heads,etc......

my sister was given an AST Advantage 621 computer. (broken of course) it is a P75 w/8mb RAM, the "official" model # is 501692-001. the hard drive (samsung 850mb) is bad..... i put a drive that had DOS 5 on it in the machine but it won't boot... I get a message in German....."Kein System oder Laufwerksfehler Wechseln und Taste druchen" which i think says there is no system installed and you must change something? the CMOS has a setting to change what PNP OS is booted.....this was set for W95 and the other options were "other" or "none". I have tried both the "other" and the "none" but it still won't boot from the HD. I can boot the machine from a DOS floppy and then switch to the DOS HD. i can then run any DOS programs i want. anyone have any experience with these machines?
