Hi i have major troubles here, ill explain..... I just built myself a system and now i am configuring everything and i havent formatted my HD yet either so i still have yet to format/install the OS on it, but my mobo has something called AwardBIOS so i guess that is special or something. my real problem is that i exit the BIOS and i get this screen that says "INSERT SYSTEM DISK IN ATAPI CDROM" now i tried putting in the disk that same with the mobo, the disk for Win95 and for WinME and they all dont work, it says its not the right disk or something like that...so my Q is what do i gotta do to get this darn thing workin right with the HD formatted and with the Win Me installed on it? Thank you if yall can help.

You gotta 3.5" FDD boot disk?

Otherwise, check your boot sequence in BIOS and change to suit the CD-ROM.

Win95 is NOT a bootable CD. WinME should be, but the upgrade probably isn't. Check your boot order in BIOS.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
