"I am having a problem trying to boot from the floppy disk while
using the latest (at least I think the latest, less than 2 mths old)
ICDBOOT software with my hard drive."

    No luck here either.  I also, when using methods described by
James and my own, get only the 'standard' desktop.  The problem also
applies to any floppy that has a program in the /AUTO/ folder.  The
only way that I can boot off floppy is during a power off of the
hard drive...  Not good.
    Interestingly, copy protected games ignore the hard drive and
allow the floppy to autoboot.
