I just acquired a (very) obsolete Dell Optiplex 486DX 33Mhz for free. I'm planning on just using it for parts (power supply, etc). Just for kicks, I booted it up. It displays:

Diskette Drive 0 seek fail
diskette drive 1 seek fail
booting from hard disk

It briefly displays the Win95 start screen, then goes back to DOS. It appears that there are only a handful of files on the harddisk. Where would be the best way to go from here? Thanks for any insight you could offer. It's not a big deal, but I'm just curious.
