Boot problem with Armada 7800
I am having a boot problem with an old Armada 7800:
1. I cannot boot from anyplace but the hard drive. After I've booted, the system recognizes the floppy and/or the CD. But, during the boot process, only the hard drive is recognized. 2. When I boot, I get the following message: "Non-System disk or disk error. Replace and strike any key when ready." I just hit the Enter key and the system then boots normally (from the hard drive). 3. If I try to load the diagnostic partition (i.e., F10 during the boot process), I get the following message: "NTLDR is missing. Press any key to restart." If I could boot from the floppy drive, I could rebuild the diagnostic partition. But, I can only boot from the hard drive. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Paul |

IIRC, there is a key combination to restore the default boot order, its something like Alt-shift-F11 or Alt-control-F11 Thanks, Paul |
