The change you are talking about (PIII to PVI) is actually nothing to do with the processor. Your old OS (Win9x or WinME) was Dos based so pressing F8 gave you the opportunity to simply stop after it had loaded Dos.

Your current OS (Win2k or XP) is not based on Dos, so that option after pressing F8 is not available.

Go into the Bios Setup, and look at the Boot options. You should be able to select what devices you can boot from, and the order that it checks them. Your pc will boot from the first bootable device it finds, so if that is set as your hdd (possibly labeled IDE-0) it will always boot from that device unless you wipe the OS from your system.

If you want to boot from some other device you have to put that device earlier in the list of devices that it can boot from. In the case of USB floppy disk, that usually counts as "Other Devices". If you create a bootable cd you have to tell your system to try to boot from cd before it tries the hdd.

I seted 1st boot sequnce to USB Floppy but still it doesnt Boot from it. [/b][/quote]
Are you sure it is a bootable disk?

If you aren&#39;t sure you can create one by checking the "Create an MS_DOS startup disk" in the format option for drive A.
