Bad floppy-drive, or serial cable (ribbon-cable to the floppy-drive). -----Original Message----- From: Lindstrom, Rick [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Sunday, December 06, 1998 2:59 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [PCBUILD] "Disk boot failure" Greetings- I finally got around to building my first box, although I can't really say it's built yet because I have a problem (I got by the first problem- bad RAM DIMM- without too much trouble). This is an AMD 350 K-6 built on an Aopen AX59 Pro board with the 1 meg cache. The machine boots up normally, and I can get in to setup with no problem. Video is good and all that. When I exit setup and the bootup process continues, I get a "BOOT DISK ERROR. INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" message. This repaets with a bootable floppy in the drive. It appears to be a problem with the floppy, but I'm not sure. Everything looks to be connected properly, and the floppy is detected in the CMOS setup. And lastly, I know I have a bootable disk. Any suggestions?
