So you're using a different master HDD in the machine now and trying to boot? It may not be flagged as bootable. Obviously A: is on your boot sequence somewhere.

So use a system disk in A: to boot the system. Run a partitioning utility to flag a partition on the new HDD as bootable. Try booting again with C:, A: in the boot order. If it won't boot the HDD it's probably because it doesn't contain a boot manager/OS.

If you want to use this HDD and your BIOS supports CDROM as a boot device set CDROM on the boot sequence, insert an OS installation disc and start from there. If your BIOS does not support CDROM as a boot device you'll have to boot a system disk with CD drivers, load CD-ROM support from the floppy, then run an OS installation CD.

Or just go get your HDD back from your brother??
