Eric...now that you have Win2K loaded on the computer, are you able to
put a floppy into the drive and see it in My Computer? If you can read
the disk, then you have a bad boot disk...if not, then something is wrong
with the drive or cable. Make sure that in the bios that A is the first
boot option since you already have an OS on the hard drive.

I have the same problem on a new Soyo SY-K7VTA-B Mainboard. I have tried
many different BIOS settings and several different boot disks including Dr.
bootdisk and one specifically made to upgrade System BIOS... none of them
would work. I too received the non-system disk error when it accessed the
floppy. Yes, it is set to boot floppy first.
I was able to load Win2K on the machine by booting from the installation CD
and it is up and running, however I would like an answer to this question as
well; before I send it off to college with my daughter. I am stumped.
Thanks,
Eric Heath
