Hi All : Im just in the middle of setting up a Linux Firewall, P133 2 GB Hard Drive.

Bottom line, with one HD with Win 98 on it, system boots fine, put my 2GB With Win 98 Boot files, comes up with the following :

NO ROM BASIC
System Halted

I can also boot from a floopy but thats about the whole story. Hope someone has a few ideas...

late thoughts....
you must have set boot sequence to something like D,A,CDROM and the drive u plug in is actually the second drive in the system.
without it, the bios ignores the D setting since only one drive is there and boots thru. is it true....?

Interesting... I will look into this in the morning and get right back to you. I did change the settings so it could boot from the CD ROM yes...


I have done it b4 with the same board and HD but am having problems all of a sudden...

Thanks guys, will look into this ASAP...
Well I might start crying now... It was the dumbest of things... All I did, was not set the drive to active... And, I thought I had the bootable cd in the drive BUT NOOOOOOOO...

Sorry guys - Must of not been thinking!

Thanks LOL! :)
Thanks ! :)
