Hi Doug welcome to Techzonez.Since you removed your hard drive the bios probably needs to recognize your IDE drives.Enter you bios on boot up and go into your "Standard Cmos Features" or the equivalent.Some bioses will auto detect by pressing the F3 key.What you need for it to do is auto detect the hard drive,and cdrom drives.Make sure that the "Primary Master"is set to Auto under "Type".Hope that's it. :D
what does imapp stand for or what is it

IMAP was developed at Stanford University in 1986.

That's a great site to look for different terms on...BTW, Welcome to Techzonez
check the boot order it may be set to try and boot from floppy disk or cd-rom only since you removed the hard drive.
