Does the machine give an error, or boot straight to the hard drive? If the latter, make sure the cdrom/floppy is set before the hard drive in the boot order--I think it would have worked the other way for the first OS installed on the computer, as there was nothing to boot on the drive. -- Christopher Nelson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- No, that's wrong too.
