When I installed Novell 6.5 Server when done with installation my hard drive is not detected as a bootable drive. I have to put in a Netware boot disk to get it to boot up.

If possible how do I copy the system files to make my drive bootable so I don't have to keep the floppy in each time I start up.

Any suggestions?

Novell should have installed DR-DOS to your harddisk on a small dos partition.
If it is installed, check, whether the partition as set to active, otherwise the harddisk is non bootable.
You can activate the dos partition by using FDISK.
But be careful don't delete any partition only set dos partition to active.
