Why would I want to try and boot my PC with a Win98 bootdisk, when it's
running Windows XP Home edition and there is nothing wrong with my PC. It's
the floppy drive that I'm having the problem with.
Maybe I'm missing something here. I would greatly appreciate if you filled
me in on what your getting to. I might learn a great lesson here from you.
Thanks, attilathehun1
