Hi Amalio,

press "F1" before you start your thinkpad and hold it. then start it.
now you=B4ll enter the bios. enter the menue "Initialize". select "FDD-=
1" for
boot-priority 1. now you can restart your noterbook and it will boot fr=
om
FDD.
you don=B4t have to remove your harddisk. with a bootdisk, you can
check your harddisk.

greetings

Jimmy (from Germany)

PS.: sorry, my english is not very good.

     Hi all!

     I have trying to install Linux (Debian 2.1) in an IBM Thinkpad
760EL. After trying to partition the hard disk (6.1 Gb) with Linux fdisk
the
computer doesn't boot. It seems like something has gone wrong on the hard
disk, because, if I remove the HD, the computer is able to boot from a
floppy. At booting, the laptop does a little acess to the HD and then
stands
waiting for ever.

     Do you have any suggestion for recovering the Hard Disk? Any method
for bypassing the HD reading while booting in order to boot from floppy?

     Thanks in advance,

     Amalio.
