Missing Operating System (No OS Found)

[FreeAdvice]

Hello, if anyone could help with this annoying prompt at boot...

Just completed configuring a dual boot Win2000 Pro(win98) dual boot system.

It consists of a newly formatted 120 Gig Maxtor HD(Win200O Pro) and Win98 OS with a 10 Gig HD.

When booting into either OS the following prompt appears during POST -(black/white) screen..

No OS Found
Hit any key to continue..

Everything works great except that I have to continually wait for the prompt and press any key to rid this message... Again, the system does not have any other problem(s) at this point, yet!

Some questions:
1. How are your disks installed - Primary Master, Slave, etc?
2. What order did you install the two OSs?
3. What are you using as a boot manager?
4. When you partitioned the disks, how did you configure them (each one)?
5. Did you make a Primary Partition Active?
6. What did you use to Partition and Format the two disks?
