HD Install :: BIOS is being pretty darn stupid

OKay. So I want to do an HD Install but My stupid BIOS doesn't seem to have a boot from D drive option... or CD rom... or anything!
so I'm guessing that it's so old that they didn't have CDROMS back then...
I'm wondering if there's a way I could boot some kind of seperate BIOS froma floppy so that I can get @ my drive...
I know the drive works, I just can't seem to get the bloody thing to boot from it

oh... and no USB ports:P

any help would be appreciated
thanks

You need Smart Boot Manager.

There's a version to boot straight from floppy, or you can load SBM to your MBR like I just did. That lets me boot from floppy, CD, or hard drive, and probably USB, but I haven't tried USB yet.

wow... thanks

I didn't expect a reply for a while.
I'll check it out

Or just use the DSL boot floppy to boot DSL cd....

that's also a great idea... I guess there's a reason I couldn't find this topic on the forum...
