I couldn't boot and receive and A > prompt while booting with a floppy disk.
The floppy drive seems to be set up as 1.44 in the BIOS.
And that's the type of diskette I used.
I'm assuming the machine doesn't have a 720 K drive, but who knows.
The floppy drive seems to look at it but eventually the Operating System not found appears anyway.
I haven't made a dsikette with the FAT32EBD.EXE disk, bbut even with FAT332 on the hard drive i thought I would receive and A > prompt.
The hard drive does not identify itself on the black screen when other devices such as the mouse and the CDROM drives do.
There are a couple of messages at boot time that I don't understand.
One says Press CTRL+ALT+B to boot. I think its an option to boot using a network card.
Another reports something about MBA or Managed Boot Agent
In the BIOS there is a PXE option or Program Execution Environment.
Anyone familiar with these fancy Hewlette Packards computers with Environments installed.?
Open your mind, not your computer.
