makes no difference sometimes it might.

Slide the drive out of the machine.  Show it to the class.

Have one of the students re-assemble the drive in the machine.

Note:  When putting everything back together it should go on easily, if not, stop.

Something is wrong. Correct the problem and start that step again.

Place the top back on the machine watching how the top is placed on the rails.

When windows-98 finishes loading:

The create disk window.

When asked to do so, place a floppy
disk in the A drive and press enter.

Explain the startup configuration options:

First start from a hard drive, bypasses the
floppy drive upon booting.  If someone leaves
a floppy disk in the A drive the machine will not
give an error.

First start from a floppy.
If you want to boot from a floppy you have to
change the startup options in the BIOS settings
from hard drive to floppy.

Press F1 when the boot process asks you to
press F1 for Configuration

Arrow down to the startup options part of the
Configuration Menu

First Boot Device  -  from Hard Drive to
Floppy Drive.  After changing press the
ESC key to return to the menu.

Arrow down to save options. Press enter.

Arrow down to exit the menu. Press enter.

This should allow the machine to boot to a floppy in the A drive

Reboot the machine with the startup floppy in the A drive.

When prompted, choose “Start computer with CD-Rom support”.
If you do nothing at this point, it will boot that way by default.

Pay attention to the drive letter that is assigned to the CD-Rom
(should be E but not always).  This is the letter you will use when
you start ghost.
