In the past I have successfully used this PC to clone from one laptop HDD to another (obviously using appropriate adapters). For my latest attempt, I changed the boot sequence so that it would boot from the boot floppy containing Ghost. I did not succeed this time in even getting the HDDs recognised, let go cloned. Each HDD will boot in the laptop, so can't be faulty. In trying to set the boot sequence back so that HDDs may be seen, I found that I can not make changes. It is a Setup in which the number of entries displayed varies with the choices made. Now, it shows 'Removable Media' - Legacy Floppy; and under that 'IDE HDD' - without a 'description'. I have been unable to budge that setup. Normally arrow keys, page keys and keypad's + & - would alter the settings. Not even F5 for 'load defaults' improves things ! What options do I have ?
