Hey TURBO, maybe you need to check your BIOS to make sure that your CD ROM is listed as an option from which to boot. It may very well be a simple BIOS setting. Now, how to get to your BIOS is a different story. It depends on the manufacturer of your hardware. I work with COMPAQs alot, and I have to press the F10 key to get to it there. Another thing you can try is to try making new boot floppies. I don't know how you got the ones you have...they may have come with your package, if you bought it I guess. But anyway, maybe the floppies are bad. Do you have access to another computer that you could make boot floppies from again? The command is probably something like mkboot or makeboot...I hope this helps...
