You did not give us much data. if this a full size mother board? Do you know what the battery looks like? Check CMOS for the correct time, data, and hard drive and floppy drive parameters. This will tell you if the CMOS back up battery is working.
What version are you trying to load?
There are many posts here on how to nuke a hard drive. Just search.
EMI-inc.net can sell you a full set of disks.
