Hello,
I am a novice to all of this so bare with me, but have enough basic knowledge to get by. I have a 486 PC all setup, all the hardware has been set in the BIOS with all the correct specs and settings, i don't get any other errors. So the next step I go to boot up the DOS install disk and I keep getting "Non system disk or disk error". I've tried about everything under the sun to troubleshoot this, used different floppy drives, cables, different boot disks, even an original DOS disk, keep getting the error. I have no idea what to do, I'm concerned the onboard motherboard FDD controller is broken. I have a ISA multi I/O card but I'm not sure how I get the BIOS to detect it or set it, I plugged it all in and I get nothing. Also to mention I have the boot order A: C: and the 3.5" is on the IDE A connector.
Let me know if you have any insight, I would appreciate it immensely.
Thanks.
