    Floppy troubles

    If I type A:\ in the run box, I get this message:



    I thought it was the disk, so I tried it with a bunch of other ones, but it did it with all of them, so it must be the drive. Any ideas what's wrong?

    Thanks, I'll look later.

    On another note, did you have to do anything special to dual-boot Win2k and Linux, or did you just install lilo to be able to pick which OS to boot when you installed Linux?

    the link is there but geocities wont let me view it. The only way I could make it better would be to do some javascript preloading. Or....

    Let me make an attachment here and have it link from it

    thats cause you were cached with the image because you came here. If you hadnt looked at the image previously then it would be a box with an 'X'
