Subject: HELP!! -Annoying Problem with Televideo 803H w/o Hard Drive-

HELP!

I have a Televideo TS-803H CP/M machine, running CP/M 2.2.

I have a hardware problem.  The machine originally came with a hard drive
and a single floppy drive.

The hard disk was cannabalized (I.E. MISSING) when I got the machine,
and although It runs fine off of the floppy drive, Whenever I turn
the machine on, I recieve a "HARDWARE ERROR: CONTACT DISTRIBUTOR"
or a "Booting from hard disk" message.

Once I turn the machine on and off and on a few times, it has no trouble 
booting from the floppy drive.  I was wondering what it takes to make
the computer realize that the hard disk is missing.

If anyone knows the answer to this question, 
PLEASE, PLEASE (grovel grovel beg) PLEASE let me know. It would be
most gratifying to clean up this annoying, if not life-threatening problem.
