Hello,

I have acquired a couple of Netvista PCs 6578, Pentium 3, 256mb RAM, 
running Win2000 prof.

Both freeze when trying to load Win2000 prof, so I tried to use a boot 
disk to try to get them started, and find I can't get them to boot from 
the floppy at all.

I used an old Win98 HD and managed to boot into safe mode and ran Fresh 
Diagnose where the CMOS settings have set the boot order to boot from HD 
and not from the floppy.

How do I access the CMOS so I can change the boot order?

There is a line at start up saying to use Control S to access options, 
but these are very basic with nowhere to change to boot order.

Any help will be helpful.

Thank you

Anne Smith
