Win 98 won't boot unless ANY bootable is in CD drawer
Have just done a repair/overwrite of a Compaq Presario running Windows 98
second edition. The system will only boot to the hard drive if there is ANY bootable CD in the drawer where it gives you the option to boot from cd or hard drive. Otherwise you get the message "Operating system not found on any devices"
