Hey everyone,
I recently dug out an old computer from my attic and decided to see if it still worked (I found an old hard drive (1.5 GB) and decided to replace the 540 MB hard drive... yeah, it's 1995-old). The new hard drive has Linux as its OS (but it's locked, not that that matters); the problem is that their is no option in the BIOS to check for CD-ROM first (I'm trying to install Win2K); all the BIOS allows me to choose is "A: then C:", "C: only", or "C: then A:".
Do any of you know of a way to boot by CD using a floppy or some uploadable program in Linux? Does formatting my hard drive allow the CD-ROM to somehow be triggered (no OS maybe?)?
Please reply if you have ANY way to help; thanks!
In case this is useful:
PhoenixBIOS Version 4.04
AGOURA release 1.17
CPU: Intel Pentium 75 MHz
RAM: 24576K
Hard Drive: 1624 MB
CD-ROM: 4x(?)
