But the problem is, None of them boots! Neither from DOS-> install-> configure, Nor turn off/on the PC. After the floppy drive indicator flashes for 4-5 seconds(the "bootable" was inserted at the beginning and so was the CD), the machine was simply dead. No response from the keybaord, no error message on the screen. I thought my floppy drive crashed, but it boots for MS windows stuff(98, 95) normally. Can you help me out? I really appreciate.
