Most common settings are: "C,A" boot from hard drive, or floppy if no hard drive present. "A,C" boot from floppy, or from hard drive if no floppy in drive [Some newer BIOSes add "SCSI" as an option, and increase the number of permutations accordingly....] My guess would be that your machine was originally set to "A,C", and has been switched to "C,A". Each has its pros and cons. David G
