Saw yor message.....
firstly, If there is a floppy disk inside the drive when you
start up your system, take it out beforehand. the system should load up
no problem.
secondly, press the "delete" key when you start your system up.
a screen should show afterwards, select the "bios features setup", using
the cursor keys, and enter.
there should be a bit saying 'boot sequence' or something like that.
Highlight this by using the cursor keys, and then use the "page up" or
"page down" key to change the boot sequence settings to the drive on
which windows is on (usually C:/). Just make sure that the drive is the
first in the sequence. Next if this option is here, use the cursor keys
to highlight the "boot up floppy seek" setting, and change that to
"disabled", using the page up/down keys.
Finally, press escape ([ESC]), then select the "save and exit setup"
option, hit "y" when the small dialogue box appears, and the system
should reboot, with no problem at all. ! Let me know how you get on !
