Disk Boot Failure

I keep getting Disk Boot Failure
I am trying to rebuild a comupter to give to students who dont have one and every time I turn it on I get Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and Press Enter, so I do just that and then i get a blue screen. I am running Windows NT because that is all that will fit on the hard drive as it is only 233 MB. How do I fix this problem
HELP

It sounds like your boot record is scrambled. Boot the system with the NT CD and choose repair. You may have to set the CDROM as the first boot device in the bios.

What do you do if in the BIOS your only choices for drives are A and C? is there any way to add a CDROM to the BIOS??
-
what BIOS have you got? can you not alter the A to D ?
