Booting
From
a Floppy
Disk
If
you want
to
boot from a
floppy disk
(to
start
software
that
can
boot
from
a floppy
disk
only),
you can
either
remove
the
hard
disk driver or
bypass
the
driver
by pressing
[Alternate].
In
order
to
work
as a boot
disk,
the floppy
disk
must
contain the
AHDI.PRG
file
in
the
AUTO
folder.
REMOVING THE HARD
DISK
DRIVER
To remove
the
hard
disk
driver,
follow the
steps
in
Installing
the
Hard
Disk Driver
in
this
chapter, but select
Remove
instead
of
Install
from
the
HINSTALL
menu.
BYPASSING THE
HARD
DISK
DRIVER
As
an
alternative
to
removing
the
hard
disk
driver,
you can
simply
bypass
it.
To do
so,
switch
off
your
computer and
make
sure there
is
a floppy
boot
disk
in
drive A.
Then
switch
on
the
system.
When
the floppy
drive's
busy
light
comes
on,
hold
down
[Alternate],
Release
[Alternate]
when
the
floppy
drive's
busy
light
stays
on
continuously.
You
can
also
bypass
the
hard
disk driver
by
running
COLDBOOT.PRG,
holding
down
[Alternate]
when
the floppy
drive's
busy
light
comes
on,
and
releasing
[Alternate]
when
the
light
stays on.
