Very odd....
Just now my friend came over and gave me the computer that I just posted about. Anyways, I figured it was a hard drive problem.
When I turned the computer on it did what he said it did but I ntoiced the light on the floppy drive never went off. I turned the comp off unplugged the floppy and it boot right to Windows without a problem. Anyone ever have anything like this happen to them?
 
Or it could just be a dead floppy drive. Maybe it is telling the system that there is a floppy in it, and the system keeps trying to boot from the nonexistant floppy first, hence no boot.
 
why doesn't he just set the boot option to not have floppy 1st or 2nd?It'd fix his problem without having to actually remove the floppy until he got a new one :P
 
Ok get this...

My friend was installing his XP onto his computer. He thought it was "slow" and yanked the plug to restart the computer in the middle of the installation. Now his computer is very much not working :D
 
lol! Dude i know what its like when you have a friend that knows "Lots" About computers when you tell them about the basics such as

Bios
Jumpers
Cables

And they jump straight into building a computer

Generally doing stupid stuff . . .

I got a friend that once tried too take the CPU out of the Motherboard too see if it was still working. . .

Idiot. lol
