"Invalid System Disk"...... Tried to reboot from bootdisk but unable to type in. Each time I tried to type in, more "Invalid System Disk" appears. I've looked through all messages posted here, but none help. Anybody out there, perhaps is able to rescue me. Luckily I've 4 computers at home and I'm on one that can internet. By the way, the down comp I mentioned was not connected to the internet, so it may not be virused. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
You can't "type in" until the system boots successfully from the diskette.
"Invalid system disk" means that your disk isn't bootable. If you are unable to get the floppy drive to boot, you may need to set the floppy as the first boot device from CMOS.
Once you boot from the diskette, what then?
Might be prudent to check the CMOS to ensure that the drive is listed correctly there
