I can not get it to boot from the rescue disk. It says "Please wait
Loading", the floppy drive runs for awhile, then stops and nothing else
happens. It has booted in the past but was hit and miss. Now it won't
boot at all from floppy. I made a new set of rescue disks but it still
won't work. Anyone else had this problem or know what to do?

Thanks,
Bill

Did you hook up a DVD-ROM or DVD Writer lately?
If so, try disabling it in the BIOS (set detection type to NONE), that may
work...

Yes, and that was it. I can't even imagine why that is a problem.

Thanks

I'll explain: Drive Image 2002, actually the program PQDI.EXE, identifies a
hooked up DVD-ROM or writer as a fixed disk (when it is AUTOdetected in the
BIOS) and attempts to read its MBR (= sector #0) that, of course, does not
exist.
