CC. news:uk.comp.misc,demon.tech.pc

Associates have at work an Olivetti M300-02 PC with a boot problem; I am
not familiar with the model.

With a boot disc in A:, A: boots and C: appears fully readable.

With A: empty, it gets through SelfTest with no obvious sign of any
problem; it then displays "Primary Bootstrap" twice and hangs.
Previously, C: would boot as normal.

SYS C: has been run, without apparent benefit; I'm told that FDISK has
been used, & FDISK /MBR; but it is possible that FDISK has not been used
to the full.

Any suggestions?
