Boot TS - Hard Disk Booted Instead of Floppy Disk

Explanation: The system skipped trying to boot the floppy disk drive and instead went straight to the hard disk.

Diagnosis: This should only happen when the boot sequence is set to be C: before A:. Assuming you didn't get the boot sequence wrong, the floppy disk not being accessed at all implies a problem of some sort with it. The system will continue booting, trying to load the operating system from the hard disk.

Recommendation:

• Double-check the boot sequence if appropriate.
• If you want to, diagnose the floppy disk drive or its connection.
• If you want to continue with the operating system load from the hard disk, proceed here.
