I'm trying to get up a small server running from my old computer. When I turn it on the bios drags but does not boot into dos. It detects the HD and reads the floppy for a second, but never reads the boot disk. I also can't enter the bios to configure it. I've tried dumping, clearing and a normal boot, still nothing. If any of you have seen the new gateway bios where it shows the little bar filling at the top, well on this machine it takes about 10 minutes for it to fill.
PII 266 MMX
Gateway motherboard (no idea whiich one)

This is why I love AMD!!! Well I hope you guys can figure it out, I've talked to a whole bunch of computer techs (i'm one) and even there lost...
