I've never been able (past three releases) to get BOOT.FLP to get past the "Boot: " prompt. I get the prompt and the system hangs with the floppy light ON (in a read, I hope). FYI, same disk works elsewhere. I hasn't been a issue because my Toshiba has always worked fine but now I really need the Compaq. If anyone has any ideas, please drop me a line. Thanks!!!
