I'm actually trying to finagle a 5.25" drive out of work - I put three old
boxes into the junkpile in the server room, with a note to the boss that I
may be able to find 'worthy causes' if they didn't want them..... I'm not
holding my breath.

Whoa - who are you calling antique? I've got one box here with twin
floppies, a 3½/5¼ combo drive. It started life in a Viglen in around 1989
and since then has moved from one PC to another as I've built new
machines. Now where did I put that floppy with Frogger?

Hmmm - the mention of the 5.25 floppy is a little worrying (unless
you are lucky enough to have such an antique installed!).

From what you say, it sounds as if your BIOS may have been reset to
the default - which can be either good, or bad, depending on the age
of the motherboard and BIOS.

If you're unable to create the boot disk from the links that Jack has
posted, then let us know the error messages you get, and we'll see
what we can do.
