For some reason, I cannot boot into the internal hard drive at all because I do not know what key to push to bypass the floppy drive. I am still very novice at this, plus the fact is I do not have an owner's manual for this computer. Can someone give me some tips on how to perform this action?

I also commandeered a copy of the MegaATE Advanced Hard Drive Utilities floppy disk. I ran the AHDI program on the disk, and the computer said that the hard disk was not boot-loaded. We are seemingly getting closer to the hard disk working, but what lack I yet?

How do I make the hard disk self-boot without ruining the data on there, in short, without wiping out the drive?  Do I need to have HDINSTALL run to set up the hard drive and can I do that without erasing the data? Thanks.

yes, if you install the driver, this won't erase the data.
If any action should erase data, you get some warnings and have to 
confirm deletion.
