Hi Jeffrey, I think I can explain your symptoms... Your bootable CD probably contains a boot floppy image. The BIOS uses this image to simulate an extra floppy drive. You can check the contents of the A: and B: drives to verify this. To avoid the effect, create a bootable CD with help of ISOLINUX (which does not need a virtual floppy) boot loader / boot menu, and load the virtual floppy image, with help of MEMDISK, only for the DOS menu entry, not for the "boot from harddisk" menu entry.
> Hit any key within 10 seconds to continue booot from Floppy > Hit 'H' or wait 10 seconds to boot from Harddisk > After booting into Windows, I can see there are two floppy drives... Eric PS: Check the FreeDOS ISO image as an example of the MEMDISK method. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
