Hi Patrick, how are you ? well u can connect your HDD if it is detachable to a regular computer and use dd from the 360 floppy to the HDD .. of course u will need to have another machine with Linux on it... if u r trying to directly install onto the HDD from the floppy using the 1200 laptop itself, i guess it is tough, because in the olden days all the booting was done by floppies. Does the hardware BIOS know that it has to read from the Master Boot Record on the HDD ? have you been able to install MS-DOS on it ? because if u can do that u should be able to install ELKS :) although anything might be wrong.... if something is already on the hard-drive and you do not need it, maybe you can run dd on the harddrive and zero (/dev/zero) it out completely (no data) and then try installing ELKS .... also does your harddrive work on other machines if connected ? how do you know it is fully functional ? vikas On 4/27/06, Pat Gilliland <pgillil@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I understand your problem.
