Booting from floopy/cd
Hey,
Even with search for bootable floppy and cd enabled in my BIOS setup, whenever I boot up with a disk in the drive, it checks the drives (you can hear the floopy drive) but then just loads Windows...why won't it boot from the floppy?!

Do you have floppy set as first choice, if all else fails set floppy and disable all other boot options in that BIOS then you'll be sure to get it to boot from floppy as long as bootable floppy disk you are using is a good bootable one!

Hey thats all right Mrstirs;
We've all been there and done that. Many times I think it has to be something so deep and complicated that I totolly overlook the simple! |
