boot problems

[stuck_in_stockton]

My old hand down 386 (BIOS date: 7-7-91) had a start up message "KB interface error". I found a switch under the keyboard and switched it. Now the start up message is "HDD connection failure". When I push F1 it then prompts me to inset boot up diskette. Since it is a hand-me-down, I don't have a boot up disk (and I negligently din't make one). This old PC always worked fine until I turned it on one day. I reset all BIOS settings to default to make sure that wasn't it. Any suggestions?

Check your other post and in the future please post only in one topic, so we don't try to answer the same question again without realizing it.

Thanks, Pete.
