Hi Bob, I've tried (twice) on the boot disk, no luck. Here's what I did. I inserted
a clean, formatted diskette, downloaded the boot disk (oem) info onto it. This is
an .exe file. I then downloaded the fdisk which was further down the page onto the
floppy - again, this was an .exe file. I then had to get into "Setup" to change the
boot drive from my CD-Rom over to the A: drive, verified that it was "looking" for
a 1.44 diskette (it was). Re-booted and got the message "invalid system disk, replace
and press any key". I repeated the process (first formatting the diskette again to
remove all files), same error message. Any ideas?
