Here's a strange problem...
My system (C2D, windows xp sp2) all of a sudden will not boot to an
MS-DOS floppy.
I've tried several MS-DOS boot floppies, they work in different
machines, etc..
Replaced the floppy drive and cable, created a bootable MS-DOS cd,
loaded system files to a flash disk, still nothing.
In all cases, ms-dos begins to load, then halts with a small
horizontal cursor blinking on the display.
Doesn't make any difference whether from the floppy, cd, or flash
disk..
Flashed BIOS back to previous version, no help. Flashed back to
current version, still the same.
Otherwise system runs fine.
I'm trying to run a dos utility that reads and flashes my video card's
bios. That's when I ran across this problem. Wasn't there a few weeks
ago..
I'm lost, any suggestions would be appreciated...
Regards,
Al
Sounds like one of the 3 boot files for msdos is botched, and, you used the
same source to make the bootable media to me.
