hi i have an old gateway 2000, its a 386, i just installed dos 5.0 on it .
after i boot up the computer, an error message pops up and says cant read the 
boot sector from the a drive. the computer has a 5 1/4" floppy and 3.5" 
diskette. it reads from the 5 1/4" drive and not the 3.5" drive.and a  after 
that it goes directly to the cmos set up, i believe all the configurations 
are correct. do i need to replace the 3.5" hard drive??  thank you for all 
your help

John Oldring
