Hello.
I have a problem with my old Windows XP, I haven't used it in years and since then I don't know what has happened with it.
After turning it on it tries to boot, but then after few seconds it displays "Operating System not Found"

I've tried searching help from all over the internet but so far I haven't found any help, I found one tutorial that told me to boot into bios and change the boot priority order, but that's where I'm stuck.
After going into Bios using my arrows to go to "Boot", under Boot priority order it says PCI BEV: IBA GE Slot 00C8 v1351
Is this normal or is my old baby doomed?
I also found a short cable inside the pc, and one wire that hasn't been connected but maybe they're not supposed to be connected to anything. There is also a light inside in the bottom part of the motherboard.
I sincerely ask you to be nice since I know only a tiny bit about computers.
Thank you

Hello

Change out the cmos battery and see if that helps..

The PCI BEV: IBA GE Slot 00C8 v1351 means boot from network.. So you probably need to change your boot options to HDD.

Hello, thank you for replying, but just some hours ago I found out the hard drive has been removed from this computer by my brother, which I wasn't aware of. Take care.
