My machine will not boot from that floppy. It will attempt to boot from drive a: and, upon failure, boot from drive c: . I know this sounds weird, but that what it does. The boot sequence is fine. The computer will boot from DOS floppies used in the same drive. I tried using several floppies, all of which Norton and scandisk certify to be in good health. I re-retrieved the boot.flp binary. All without success. I notices someone else a while back had the same problem. I never saw an answer to that question. Who can help?
