Thumbs down "Insert bootable media in the appropriate drive" displays

When I turn the computer on, the message "insert bootable media in the appropriate drive" displays.

I have dl the boot cd for Win Me to no avail.

I have tried many interruption sequences (ie ctrl, atl, del: ctrl,s: del: f10, etc)also to no avail as the same string continues.

however when a input ctrl, alt, del the screen goes blank

bottom line I cannot get to BIOS.

How do I test my hard drive and are there any suggestions?

Oh yea, at one point early on I was able to get a message about the floppy drive that indicated floppy drive not readable as it has not worked for some time .

The computer is very, very old but has a dynamite sound card.....the entire system is only about 15G. Used computer for music.

Thanks for everything in advance.
