INFERNO2000 0 Posted December 12, 2000 I just built myself a new system...it's the lower one...but didn't install a floppy on it(won't have one for a while). How do I convince Win98 that there is no floppy drive? 2000 and Whistler had no probs...but this does. ------------------ NECESSARY EVIL --Custom Built [H]ard|PC-- <Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP1, IE5.5 SP1, DX8> Intel Pentium !!!
