Ummm, nobody has mentioned it, but a more modren machine vs. a really old bios -=20 the "No operating system" message is a classic sign of a geometry mismatch - the new BIOS is probably mapping the drive differently (since it undoubtedly can handle multi-gig drives vs 500M for the old BIOS.) I have an old P166 at the house that acts as a firewall on the cable net, has apache and secure apache, a name server, print server, and for a while was the server the family logged in on. (We have a little IDOT to log in on nowadays.) Eventually it's going away, but it still does the job.
