You have to go in the BIOS and set it to boot from the floppy, and on SOME BIOS's (but not most) you also have to enable "boot up floppy seek". If that still doesn't work, then make sure that the floppy LED is lighting up when it seeks the floppy. If so, the floppy media is probably bad. If not, the floppy drive is probably bad (or cable or controller). -Clint
God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have a six and a half year old Pentium II computer and the other day the hard drive started that horrid clicking sound. Of course, I knew what happened. After trying all the tricks, putting it in the freezer, etc., I can not get it to work. I thought I would be able to boot into DOS from a floppy, which has worked in this same computer, but now it will not boot. Since there is no hard drive in the computer is there something I now have to do to get it to boot from the floppy?
