wierd prob w/ floppy

<< < (2/2)

askani:
here's the thing. floppies get real fucked up real quick. i know a guy that had like 20-30 floppies which he didn't use for a while. when he wanted to use them, they all were fucked up. I think that because Linux uses that whole inode system, it sees that they're fucked up when it's formatting. windoze does no such thing.  :mad:

askani:
and if you really need to boot linux and don';t have a boot loader or something, just try a freeware bootloader like XOSL which installs from windoze and has a nice GUI or just use Loadlin (i don't know if they have a version for XP/NT yet though). As for your system not booting fom a CD, try to mess around with the boot order in the BIOS, just make sure it says CDROM, not a drive letter which coincides with your CDROM.  ;)

sporkme:
i am using a boot master

thanks everyone!
