- Do they still follow that IBM things? Well, compatible is compatible! You
- did not mention that if you could boot from flopy. Your hard disk is not
- recognized by BIOS which means no boot from flopy, no boot from hard, then
- go to BASIC ROM. You just need to update CMOS, advanced CMOS set up is for
- better performance. Your computer should boot from flopy and hard, if set up
- is correct.

- Peace and Prosperity!
