| 326447 | 2005-02-21 08:43:00 | You can download one from here (www.bootdisk.com) Thanks - still unsuccessful - when I restart it does not pick up the sturt-up. I think I'll buy an XP upgrade & re-install ... not sure how to force my way into this PC's "closed loop" though |

| 326448 | 2005-02-21 08:51:00 | So it is not booting from the startup floppy disk? Did you follow the instructions in creating the boot disk? It may pay to make another one incase your original floppy is a dud. You should also check to make sure your machine can boot from a floppy. When it first starts up, keep tapping the DEL key (normally this one) until you get into the BIOS. Have a look for the boot order and make sure it goes: Floppy CD-ROM C (hard drive) |
