When I originally bought my drive, the computer would always
boot from the floppy with the hard drive off. Then, due to a
disk problem, I sent my hard disk back to Supra and they
replaced the drive. Now I can no longer boot from the floppy
with the hard drive off. I must always unplug the hard drive
and then boot the ST. Otherwise the ST does not seem to recognize
the built in floppy. This happens even without any AUTO folder
programs or accessories. A friend has the same problem. Does
anyone know why this is happening and, more importantly, how
to fix it?

Computer: 1040STf (no upgrades)
Drive   : Supra 30MB Hard Disk

Thanks in advance!
