It is not the problem of the floppy drive, but the system cannot find a
valid boot record in the HD. According to the boot up scheme in BIOS, if
it failed to find the boot record in C:, it will gone to find any bootable
disk in the A:.
I just want to know, where is the bootable HD connected to? Is the CD-ROM
jumper set as CL instead of Slave?
Use a bootable disk, and restore the boot record with it using SYS A: C:
command. Make sure the OS version is the same as the one in your HD before
doing this.
