Booting from floppy

[ednorton59]

I am tying a new program that erases your hard drive. It creates a floppy disc that you have to boot from. When I restart my computer it doesn't boot. The site just says to make sure computer boots from A Drive. I think mine boots from my Cd Rom drive which in my case is "N". How do I make it boot from the floppy drive (A)?? Thanks for any help with this!

I think you have to get into your BIOS and make the change there. But, if I were you, I would wait to see some of the other answers you will probably get. There might be a better answer.

Actually FrankSG, that is the correct answer. You reboot the computer and press whatever button it indicates to get into Setup. It should open in your BIOS and you look for the boot order entry. Change it so that it will boot to floppy first and you should be able to use the floppy you made. If the floppy is in the boot order before the hard drive, it should work as long as you don't have a CD in the drive....
