![]() I just try to reinstall a old computer my pa (or dad, daddy, papa, however you call it) digged out of the basement. He thinks he needs a PC...phhrt! <_<
At least he won't go on my nerves anymore. Anyway, i made a bootdisk for reinstaling the Piece-of-Garbage PC, and the issue is: The damn thing won't boot from Floppy. I did everything i can think of. I made the Win 98 Bootdisk, and changed the Boot-Sequence. The PC just won't boot. :wallbash: :ranting: Any idea how to solve the problem? |

![]() No idea, except for maybe going into the BIOS and setting drive a: as main booting device or whatever you call that.
I have a similar problem with my first PC. A programmer friend of my dad says the disk controller is probably broken. Maybe that's the problem with your PC. You might wanna get a new floppy drive, though. They're cheap on eBay, it's just the shipping that ruins the price. |

![]() We changed the Floppy Drive with another one we still had in another computer, and no luck. Or is the damn controler not in/on the Floppy Drive? Is it the thing UNDER the drive?
Damn, i hate hardware issues! :ranting: |

![]() I did already change bootdisks, no luck either.
Buy another computer? BUY? That costs money, so hell no! We're very short on money y'know. And i mean short. Besides that, money sucks. :bleh: No, i have declared war on this machine, and i will not rest till it works. |

![]() Are you sure the FDD is properly connected?
Is it correctly configured in BIOS? Did you enable "floppy drive seek at startup" option (or its equivalent) in BIOS? |
