Thanks for your help

With XP you can format a floppy disk and make it a bootable DOS disk.[place floppy in drive A, right click, select format, and one of the options allows the selection....]
Is this DOS pure 386/486 or V86 mode? (See attached picture of trying to load linux from the command prompt.

BIOS. There should be an entry for Boot Order or something similar. Try "A:, CD, C:" if it has the option. That way it will check the floppy, then CD and then finally the hard drive.
Anyone know a generic way of doing this? I know most pc's display an output on boot before the OS loads but mine doesn't. It just displays the manufacturers logo.

Thanks for your help.
