This error message is referring to the Hard Drive, not the floppy.. Check
your cable connections to the HD... Why are you booting with the floppy to
begin with??  It could be a serious hard drive failure.. Good luck.

Subject: Re: [PCBUILD] Press a key to reboot


I have seen floppy drives that will only read discs formatted by
themselves-create a boot floppy with this drive and try it.
Can you read this disc from windows?
**************************************************************************

When I try to boot with a floppy I get the message "Disk boot failure,
insert system disk and press Enter". I know the floppy disk is good coz
I can boot up another computer. I don't know what else to do.
