Ok you can boot using floppy, I hope your using a boot disk that allows access to cdrom. If this is so you can use norton to check the harddrives and try to fix the drives as norton has better resources than scandisk. If this step doesn’t work to repair the drives goto http://www.powerquest.com or http://www.highergroundsoftware.com for the tools to fix your problem. the second reference has specific free trial available.
