The start up disk you aren't using is a floppy Wednesday, December 21, 2005 at 3:37 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Kiwi (2111 messages posted) The PC recognizes whatever is on the floppy. If it's DOS, it recognizes that, if Linux, that, etc. The distribution set for WinME came with a floppy for starting the system, whether the CD had the boot files on it or not. Your hard drive is in a between OS' state, and cannot use EITHER WinME or WinXP yet. If you still have that floppy and tried to use it, the next question is whether or not you reset the boot drive order that moves the floppy into position number one. That is in the BIOS' "Setup", which the computer tells you about every time it boots up (Push xxxx to enter Setup). .
