Not all pins are used on a cpu, and i think a couple are redundant.
The processor is obviously working, as he's getting an 'incorrect boot disk' screen.
Matt, the computer is looking for an operating system (os) to boot, but can't find one.
If it has windows installed (or any os), get into the bios and select the HDD which has the os on it as your 1st boot drive.
If you don't have an os installed and your trying to install one from a cd, then go into the bios and set the CD drive as the first boot, and then make sure whatever HDD your installing to is set to boot next.
