Getting an error message on boot up that operating system cannot be found. I put in a hard drive from another desktop that I know works fine and I am getting the same error message. Any ideas?

I put the first hard drive into my other desktop and I can see all the contents just fine. So something on the other desktop will not find an OS on any hard drive.

Try clearing the CMOS - there should be a Jumper on the motherboard for this, see your motherboard manual.
