Hi,
I'm running Win2k Pro. It is the only OS on my system. I need to boot to pure DOS in order to update the BIOS on my motherboard. I made a bootdisk from another system that is running WIn98. I left the floppy in the drive and my system seems to ignore it. The floppy drive does seek the disk, but then Win2k takes over and booted up. I've also tried setting the CMOS to not look at any HDD partition. This time, the system respond with an error that there was not bootable disk.
Please post if you have any idea on how I can get my system to boot up into PURE DOS so I can update the BIOS on the motherboard. I've also tried a WinME bootdisk, but I got the same symptom. There is something weird going on as far as the NT partition.
