Gday all,hope u can help me cos I want to get up and running. Installed the hardware per manual.HSF is winfop38 and bios cnfms cpu temp 40C. I hv a fdd and cd,hdd is quantum 40mb, gef2mx400, 300watt tower, 256k hyundai ram, and thats it so far. Adjusted bios to reflect cpu speed and chkd fdd as primary boot drive. In goes the win95 boot disk and get the message"boot disk failure - enter disk and press enter", or something like that. Now I know the system chkd fdd cos I saw the light on. OK, tried again and again and again, changed and re-checked things, even tried cd on ide2 on its own ide cable,(which I dont think was detected, accdg to bios), and still get same error. Now the fdd and cd came in plastic bags with no instructions,so I'm not 100%sure if they're okay, but they both have power, and when I tried to boot my "new" os (w2000) off cd, after changing primary boot dr, still wont boot.(the cd didnt spin even). So guys and gals, what do u think, I'm beginning to think its a m/brd problem. Thanks for your comments.
