Hi not sure about the no floppy/no cdrom error but the no rom error is just saying that there is no device to boot from. need more infor to help much! do you have a floppy,cd drive? how is the cd drive and hdd connected and configured? have you tryed to boot with a boot floppy or a bootable cd? what is the boot order in bios? what os will you install?

BOth the Hdd And cdrom are on seperate channels the cd rom was working on my linux box but was flakie so I replaced. The floppy was working last year I can try another if I need to. I plan to run linux on this system I'm thinking susie or red hat. But a'm very new to them. My Linux box has just been started. I'll go to win 98 second edition to stars if nessary just to eliminate problems if nessarry. right now I'v been tring to boot a dos floppy with cd rom support so I can make shure the HD is ok
