When I attempt to boot from a floppy disk or cd drive my system recognizes
it as bootable, tries, then hangs with blinking cursor. Boot is normal from
drive c, scsi 0 partition 1

floppy disks for booting: Win98, newly created WinXP, PartitionMagic boot
disk

bootable for cd: PartitonMagic cd, WinXP cd

WinXP Pro SP1
Gigabyte GA-7VRXP motherboard
AMD xp2200+ cpu
Adaptec 29160 scsi controller, 2 scsi hard drives, Yamaha 8424 scsi cd-rw
No ide devices
