Yes. You should set your boot order with floppy followed by hard drive. The order can be anything -- CD, floppy, hard drive or floppy, CD, hard drive, or just floppy, hard drive. Your PC will always check the first boot device for bootable media, if nothing is found it will continue down the line until it can boot. For example, with a bootable floppy it will boot to the OS on the floppy. If there is no floppy in the drive, it will then try the next device, for example your CD. If there's no CD then it will continue to the hard drive where it will finally boot to Windows.

Thanks I did that now its booting off floppy correct, but now getting a error 1805 goes all the way thru to closing media then the 1805 disk write error comes up.. in the manual it says drive is too big to write to media which is a cd... it is suppose to split the drive to 4 to 7 CDs from what it says at the begining of the step, I have CD-R 700 MB 48X Multi Speed Memorex Maybe I am using the wrong disks I will try the CD-RW. Thanks.
