why is it important to boot from a floppy anyway, on startup press del, when you
enter your bios setup make your first or highest boot cd-rom, now if your computer
has not got a bootable cd-rom then what you do is disable the floppy at first boot
disk insert your copy on xp and then reboot the computer then if you are going to
reformat the thing just follow all the prompts you may have to hit the q key on
startup to start the process to format remember read each preference carefully and
you wont go wrong. i`m only learning my self and i dont know all the jargon, but
hey it works for me. cheers dave
