Or just: open BIOS

The IDE cables, I'm thinking.
International model
There should be a cable... better termed a ribbon. It connects the mainboard to the floppy drives. You may have one cable with 2 floppy connections (plus 1 mainboard connection) handling the two drives. If that's the case, swith them. If it's 2 cables with 1 connection each, switch them, either from the floppy or the mainboard, it doesn't matter. You're just reordering the drives.... both A and B shoud just be disk channels, shouldn't matter if they are the 5.25" or 3.5" variety... just get them reordered.
Edit: I can't recall the real names for the cables... maybe just floppy cables? And I mean physically within the computer.

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view
But its not sane..
I just want some one to say to me
Ill always be there when you wake
Ya know Id like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and Ill have it made
And I dont understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that theres no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away but its a great escape..
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain...

I found out another thing. I had Virus in my old 386. so I had to format it.
now i says DISC BOOT FAILEd, insert system disc and press enter.
What the HELL is this SYSTEM DISC?! and why my MS-DOS boot disc isn't working...
(I guess I need to change the A: & B: Boot Sequence (there are only A,C)
and I have found a site with Dos 7.1 BOOT and 7.1 Install. (now I only need is a windows 3.1)
Oh and Agent smith, I did as you told me( It was one cable) but now when I open the computer I get this maggese "Floppy disc type is Set incorrect or Drive Error"

You might need to change the configuration in the bios now, cause it doesn't detect things like that. And a system disk is just a boot disk. Oh, and if you still need a boot disk with DOS 6 check out http://www.bootdisk.com/
*PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

or maybe the discs have been demagnetised (you know if they came too close to a magnet and got erased because of that)
it might happen with a long timespan and a small magnetic field...

You should probably mention that to Bill Gates... as far as I know he has all his products copyrighted every year to prevent any misunderstandings... MSDOS is warez except for the first few versions of it... but version 6 and so forth is definately warez.Originally Posted by Ultimate X
And only way to install it is by getting the disk versions AND name the disks by the right names such as disk1, disk2...

Yeah, the long grey one is the ribbon cable. The multi-coloured one is the power supply.

technically, dos is warez, since its still proproietary software owned by a company who still holds the copyright...
