Try to run the Setup, by pressing Del after the 6144KB OK
or maybe Ctrl-Alt-Esc, and change the bootup sequence from
"A: C:" to "C:" or "C: A:"
Your system will then boot directly from C: (of course only
if it's bootable) and then you can use progs like Norton or
PCTools to get your floppy drive working. Maybe you need some
BIOS setup program.
Hope this helps....
