Hello,
I received a computer from a company I worked at because they were upgrading. they told me that they wiped out the computer hard drive like 9 times. SO its completely clean.. nothing is on it. So when I turn the computer on it reads "disk boot failure. Insert system disk and press enter".
Of course I was given the hard drive but nothing else. Is there any hope on getting windows or well... anything for that matter installed on this system?
Its a great computer, just can't do anything with it right now.. .does anyone have any ideas..??? Thanks ahead of time for any comments!

You would need to install an OS on it, usually that means windows unless you are thinking of linux
