- I have been fooling around with a new motherboard
- and some disks and get the following message when
- I try to boot a 340mb IDE drive
-
- NO ROM BASIC
- SYSTEM HALTED
-
- I was previously able to put a DOS 5.0 system
- on this disk and boot it, but now the same disk
- gives this error on two different motherboards
- but a 137mb disk boots fine on both systems.
-
- What does it mean and what do I do to fix it.?
-
- Also, does anyone know about a program that you
- can software boot another disk from. eg. boot
- a floppy and then have it boot a hard drive?
-
- Thanks....
