Boot TS - System Hangs Trying to Boot Floppy Disk

Explanation: The system starts trying to boot the floppy disk drive and then hangs up, halting the boot process.

Diagnosis: Most likely, there is something wrong with the floppy disk drive or the disk that is being used to boot.

Recommendation:

  • Try booting from another bootable floppy disk. If this one works, discard the other one.
  • If a second floppy disk produces the same problem, troubleshoot the drive here.
