Well the way I have the bios set up right now is so that the hard drive loads then a and then the cd rom but I found if I had it the other way it would do fine maybe I need to change it back to where it was before cause I just tried your idea and hit the shift key after I heard the floppy drive which was after the post beep. I am not sure but I am assuming you are saying the floppy drive should be checked before the post beep? Btw I am using the Doubletalk lt but I understood what you meant.
