I hesitate to bring this up... but...does your boot order include your floppy drive? If so, do you have a disk in the floppy drive while trying to boot up to the hard drive? You would get the problem if your boot order was: CDROM (allowing you to install, fdisk, etc.) Floppy, Hard Drive, and you had a non bootable floppy disk in your floppy drive. It's probably a dumb suggestion, but there you go. -- Brant Fitzsimmons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> BF Computer Consulting
