Hi, I have a problem with my Compaq 386-16. It is not able to boot from the
floppy disk drive A. Every time I try to reboot, it always directly boot
from the hard drive C:. It would not boot from the Drive C: either , it has
boot sector error messages. I think the Hard drive C: is dead. 

How can I boot the system from floppy drive A: ? Is there any thing I can
do to solve it my self ?


Thanks you


Kent
