Finally got on to some one who knows something and it
seems to have worked

Go to the PC manufactures Web site and download latest
BIOS and drivers.

As there is no A drive you have to down load this from
another pc and save batch file to a floppy then load this
into your faulty pc and if it is not a Floppy drive
hardware fault it should work
Good luck
