bios

[bypick]

I just got into the computer bios....what I really need is to change the floppy disk to be the primary drive so I can reformat the hard drive. I've get to advanced options and I am not able to move the floppy to the #1 slot. help!

You should check manual on how to make change on BIOS. Different MB use different method.

Helps to read the manual.....did just that and found my way through prioritizing the drives...but it didn't help the problem. New computer tower with 2.4 MGhz won't load windows. All drives seem to be dead. I may have created the problem in the hard drive, but I can't even reformat the hard drive if the floppy won't function. Can't use the start up disk....no runs....

Are you able to boot to floppy now?

go back into bios, and select "fail safe" or "default values" or similar, this will set it back to a reasonable state. Not all are set to boot from A: first like they used to be, the boot option is normally under advanced cmos/advanced bios setup, if you go to the wrong screen and cant find it, exit that screen, if VERY unsure, exit totally without saving, then try again.

Nope...none of the drives functioned at all. It just sat there and blinked it's little lights at me...lol...I took it to a tech yesterday. He has it up and running. I'll have more info about the problem today. Thanks!
