I did not download them to my desktop, (XP), however I will try that, the drive did atleast try to open up the drive, on version b boot disk, the error message changed slightly but still wouldn't work. I have tried to go into setup by tapping del, however nothing happens. I have also tried the F8 key to go into dos, but that will not work either. I will try downloading the boot disks to my desktop first though and hopefully that will help. I would be grateful for any more suggestions in the mean time. Thank you tanner4
