First restart you PC and hit delete key to get into CMOS Setup Utility, Choose Chipset Features Setup then assign Boot sequence A,C Instead of C Only. This would make it boot the A: drive and your Boot Disk will be functioning.

I still have the same problem, won't boot to A.

Here's what I did so far:
made a boot disk, from win 2000
changed cmos to A, saved changes, got out of cmos
inserted the disk in to A(floppy)
restarted computer
the computer started, I saw the drive light come on at A:
then said it did not have NTLDR
the computer just sat there

help!
