let me see if I can answer all responses--JAD, I meant no floppy disks
in the computer, there is a hard drive in there---Cowboyz---the hard
drive was plugged in when I tried fdisk---Steve--the hard drive
controller is turned on in BIOS, and Guest---all connectors have been
unplugged and reseated

Thanks for the responses--still looking for more
