Brian,

Do you have a CD that you can boot up with? Anything to get to the hard drive.

I thought a floopy was a thing of the past!

This all started after helping a friend update his computer running 
Win XP, Went to get the latest updates from MS and got them and figured out the 
hard way that they he had not updated his computer in a long 
time!

I did some reading and found out that the updates were good but 
something with the Bios was outdated.

Thanks,
Brian

Brian,

When you boot with a floppy you don't need 
  videp drivers unles the computer is unuaual. The video is controlled by the 
  bios until such time drivers are veede which would be when running 
  XP.

What started all this?

Brian,

Won't your computer boot with a 
    floppy?
