To start this Windows install. First check that the first boot
device in your system BIOS is set to the Floppy Drive.
( To find out how to access the BIOS please refer to your
motherboard manual or the manufacturer of your Laptop. (The system bios can
usually be entered on boot, usually by pressing the F1, F2, F8, F10 or DEL key.
Make sure you save the settings before exiting))
If you are unsure or don't want to enter the BIOS then just test
the computer by putting the floppy boot disk in the drive and reboot your
computer. This is the recommended way to
