Re: Won't boot into windows

Okay, I made the floppy, and know how to boot from it. But will it just
automatically "go" from the floppy to the C drive after booting, or do I need
to know to do something to make that happen?
(I want to make sure I understand everything before I shut this thing down
again!)
THanks!

- Click Start / Run / notepad a:\boot.ini{OK}
- Accept the prompt to create a new file.
- Copy and paste the lines I previously gave you.
- Save & close the file.
