What is wrong when Diskette boot failure comes up on the screen. I inserted a boot disk and hit enter, but the same THING came up again. What do I do?Well, I don't know if this is the right forum either.

What OS are you using???

It's usual to insert a boot disk and reboot not hit Enter.  What are you trying to achieve and is the bootdisk for Win.98??Your BIOS might not have the correct boot up sequence.

Are you sure it is a boot disk?

Did you restart the computer with the boot disk in the drive instead or just pressing enter?

What OS are you running?

If you have wiped the drive CLEAN there is no longer ANYTHING left .....so we use a win 9X boot disk .......It must have several dos files and drivers to make the cd drive OPERATIONAL........just a word of caution .....some boot disks dont have the necessary files on them to do the job......Go to Bootdisk.com and D/l the appropriate on .   Then things should go as they should.......You have formatted and reinstalled a operating system before haven't you or is this the first time ?

let us know
