Strange. Just a thought. It's sounds like your computer may be trying to
boot only from Floppy, and not "A then C" or "C then A." Since I doubt
your bios has an "A only" boot mode, could it be you've lost the ability
to boot from your hdd? Norton Utilities used to have an applet to let you
"make drive bootable." (You can use your startup or emergency disk to get
into c:, if that helps.)
