Hi Jo and all, On rare occasions I've had to disable all other boot devices in the BIOS (while leaving the CD-Rom drive as the primary boot device). At the first reboot I then change the boot order back to normal.

Ive changed the BIOS to boot from CD Rom but it wont do it. It accepts that the CD rom is there but still keep wanting to boot from the floppy startup disk. If i remove the start up disk and reboot it tells me to put it back in. Help please Thanks Jo Walker ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
