- Hi Ragnar...
-
- If your system as a CMOS (and most due unless their very old...) jusat
- go in it (usually with the ESC or DEL depending on the CMOS brand at
- BOOT UP, i.e. during the memory counting) and check if one of the
- settings is called disk seek sequence or something of the sort. I had the
- same surprise when I first got my computer, because this setting was set
- to C:,A:, in other words look at c: first THEN at A: foor boot
- instructions!
-
- hope this help you!
