FORC5,
tnx. not down to a FD yet. That will be my last try for sure. This
machine does still have a FD (1 of 2; out of 7).
Not sure it even works any longer. No bother.
Changed bios boot order to the CDRom.
Odd.
Machine will not even boot any CD either? BartPE?, XP? W2K?
Tomorrow will be a brighter day.........
Time for a nap!!
Best,
Duncan

also fwiw it is possible to copy a few files to a floppy and windows
will boot from it. I used to make those for safety but have not in a
long time.
memory is suspect but I believe the files needed copied to a bootable
floppy( not even sure if this is needed or not) maybe tomorrow I will
play some for old times sake :-(
boot.ini
ntdetect.com
NTLDR
while the boot.ini will transfer from another box not sure about the
others. memory sucks right now.
