XP PRO Bootup
Terry.
Thanks. You were right. There was some difficulty getting into boot manager - I had several attempts. For a reason I cannot explaint, LS-120 was first choice. I do not know why. I have never had an LS-120 (was that the higher capacity floppy?) However, accepting that; I fail to understand why it should take all that time searching for something which is not there. In the old days when the floppy was the conventional first choice it took a second or so to check for floppy and then go to next preference (usually hard disk) Thanks to all who tried to help. "Terry R." wrote in message ... The date and time was 11/21/2008 5:33 AM, and on a whim, AT and HMB pounded out on the keyboard: Thank you Terry for a civilised reply. The computer is one of several I built from scratch and has been in daily use for 3years or so. In retrospect, of course I should have realised it was NOT a Windows problem and to all those people who have become upset/irate about this I offer my humble apology. To those who have the time to post insults, I say "get a life" Following the useful comments I updated my BIOS with the MSI Live Monitor. This didn't help. I will now concentrate on the BIOS area and would appreciate any pointer to NG or User Group that might be able to help me. Many thanks again to those who replied constructively. Be sure to check the options of the Boot Manager. If it's sitting at the BIOS screen for a long time before proceeding, I would guess the Boot Manager is causing the delay. -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address.

Yes, the LS-120 was a high capacity floppy. Glad to hear you got it fixed. -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address.
