According to the video, your hard disk is properly found, but for some reason it thinks that something non-DOS is occupying it. In order to solve this, you can try to manually wipe the partition table on the very first sector of the hard disk drive. This can be done in Debug.
For example:
f cs:100 2000 00[enter]
a 100[enter]
jmp 0102[enter]
mov ah,00[enter]
mov dl,80[enter]
int 13h[enter]
mov ax,0310[enter]
mov bx,1000[enter]
xor cx,cx[enter]
mov dx,0080[enter]
int 13h[enter]
int 3[enter]
[enter]
g[enter]
Of course, NEVER EVER use this code on a recent computer unless you really want to reformat the HDD from scratch.
I also see that there are some BIOS extension which boots with some startup text. It's impossible to see what it is due to the video quality, but I take for granted that it's from a VGA card.
I tried per's DEBUG code too and it didn't work for me either. Looking at it, I figured that it was because the starting sector was set to 0 instead of 1. The code worked for me when I then changed the "xor cx,cx" line to "mov cx,1". Give that a go.I just tried it, and same thing,
