I installed a new floppy drive in my computer and installed a new Hard drive. The hard drive had Windows XP (C:) and Windows Me(E:).
I wanted to format the drive, I tried to boot from a diskette but couldnīt. It said :
Searching for boot record from floppy..Not Found
while the diskette I always use to boot my other computer always work. So I made andother diskette but still couldn't. Finally I booted with my Hard drive and entered Windows Me. I formatted C: and D: (now the problems start), then I reboot and this is the message i get:

(My boot secuence is Floppy, IDE-0, CDROM)

Searching for boot record from floppy..Not Found
Searching for boot record from IDE-0..OK
Searching for boot record from CDROM..Not Found

Boot Failure
Insert BOOT diskette in A:
Press any key when ready

and goes on and on and on that way.

I just want to boot from diskette so to format the hard drive, how can i do that?

its pretty obvious ur prob lies w/ either the drive itself or if not so.... would be the disk that ur usin. Try checkin everything on the drive first like the Ribbon cables (as to what the prev post said).
But since its not dishing any other errors on the drive other than this "Boot Record on Floppy not found" I doubt its the drive. Try using a fresh floppy disk.

Hope this helps...

Have you connected the floppy ribbon the right way round ? Red stripe
signifies NO.1.

If you have you might have a duff drive.

Hope this helps
