Check the bios, andset it to use &quot;a: c:&quot; boot sequence. It seems to be set at &quot;c: a:&quot; now, which means that it tries to load from HD, and it seems the bootloader is still there.<br />
<br />
You can also press F8 or F5 as soon as you see &quot;Starting windows...&quot; to get a menu where you can terminate boot.

I am not necessarily rejecting the answer, but asking for more info. The BIOS is set at &quot;a: c:&quot;.<br />
When I press F8 I get a menu of 6 choices (none of which I clearly understand) Which one do I choose to &quot;terminate boot&quot;?<br />
Again, thanks in advance<br />

J2 is right. If, even when BIOS boot sequence says &quot;A:, C:&quot;, and you're still booting from C:, then it's possible:<br />
a) Your floppy is not bootable<br />
b) Floppy drive is not working<br />

I have purchased a used Pentium 75 system which ran Win 95 which was supposed to have been uninstalled. When I boot it up it tries to start Win95 and won't let me go to the A: prompt to install Win3.1. What is my next step. Help.<br />
