Thanks to those of you who responded to my first message, and got me a little farther along in trouble-shooting this. Unfortunately, I still cannot get my PC to boot up from the boot.flp floppy. I gave the floppy to a friend, to try on his PC, and it worked fine! So I guess it's not the floppy. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY PC?!?!" I started taking the PC apart last night just to get more familiar with it, so I thought I'd post some of the information about it here, in case anyone sees any obvious problems. It's a 486DX2 with 16 meg of RAM BIOS is AMI-BIOS (dated 6/6/92) AMI=American Megatrends Inc. It has a Future Domain SCSI controller, which seems to be controlling: one floppy drive two hard drives (1 Conner 1.4G and 1 Maxtor 240Meg) one double speed CD-ROM. It also has a "Stealth 32" video card. I don't know who manufactured the mother-board, but several of the chips have "OPTi" labelled on them... (please excuse my ignorance.) If anyone knows of any problems with any of these devices please let me know. Thanks, Stefan J. Van Rafelghem svanrafe@csc.com
