Hey! Ah, the nostalgia of a 1994 Packard Bell! I remember having a similar issue with an old PC I was trying to revive. It can be super frustrating when it keeps saying "operating system not found."
One thing that worked for me was checking the BIOS settings to make sure it was set to boot from the correct drive. Sometimes, these old systems can reset their boot order for no apparent reason. Also, double-check if the hard drive connections are secure.
When I was troubleshooting my old machine, I stumbled upon some great advice on operatingsystems. They had some tips for dealing with vintage hardware issues that were surprisingly helpful.

Hi @gerryfranc26930
Intrigued by your question as I've never heard of a Dido OS if this is what you mean.
If it is then looking at this it seems that it is a program designed to work on Windows (or Linux) and not a separate bootable OS but maybe I misinterpreted it.
