Can't boot Ghost from floppy

[Cliff Wild]

One system will not boot to the Ghost application on my floppy with that
usual report if you try to boot with a non bootable disk. I just used it one
another System and it worked fine. I looked in BIOS and the boot order is
floppy then hard drive then CD ROM. Is there another setting I need to look
at?
TIA

Seeing that your question has nothing at all to do with Windows,
you should repost it in a hardware group and/or check the
Ghost FAQs.

It could be a bad floppy drive on the computer. Blow it out with
compressed air and try again. If it still doesn't work, swap it out for
a known-working floppy drive.

I thought it was a windows configuration issue. The hardware works. That
was the first thing I checked in addition to looking in BIOS I searched
Google to see if there was something was missing.

You wrote "One system will not boot to the Ghost application on
my floppy". I cannot see the word "Windows" in your problem
description and you cannot see the word "Windows" on the screen,
hence this has nothing to do with Windows. It may be related to
your floppy disk, the floppy disk drive or the floppy disk drive
controller on the motherboard, all of which are hardware issues.

OK, thanks.
