My PC is playing up again and won't boot up. It has win2000 loaded on and when I turn it on it won't boot up from the hard drive. I need to boot from a floppy...one problem...I don't have one!! Is there anywhere I can download from the net the boot instruction onto a floppy so it can switch on?

Luckerly, I still have my old hard drive with windows me still loaded on so I am able to post this message.

Cheers Guys

Tim

One takes it that Mr Taylor still has the original W2K CD????

Therefore, insert into orrifice provided & turn on PC - hey presto

If nothing happens, then go into BIOS of PC & make CD a boot device - try again

Cool

Very funny Puff

Got it sorted now - had a moment of clear thought and got it to work. I tried to bot from the CD before but it didn't work for some reason so whilst working from other hard drive using ME ran win2000 disc and found MS-DOS programme on creating boot disc's

Cheers anyway guys

Tim

(until the next time )
