VXI-850pc controller fails boot. Drive not ready, light on continuously.

I have a VXI-850pc slot-0 controller that won't boot properly.  Basically, when turned on:
   1) the drive light is continuously lit, color - amber.
   2) screen displays: Drive not ready, insert BOOT diskette in A:, Press any key when ready
Has the hard drive crashed?  Any suggestions?
 
Thank you for your help!

Jason,

You deffinantly are having a HDD problem. It has either failed, the boot sector is corrupt. I would recommend using a boot disk to get into windows and run a scan of your HDD to test if it is okay. If the disk has failed, it is fairly striaght forward to replace and I can advise you on that process if you run into any snags.
