My computer suddenly decided not to boot up even with a start up disk. I have
selected A Drive as first in the BIOS setup. It stops during the boot
sequence before it gets to look at A Drive. Using Win 98SE. Any suggestions
would be appreciated.

What were you doing just prior to this problem occuring? Have you made any
hardware changes to this computer recently?

Not enough info.

What is the last message you see on your monitor when all boot activity
has stopped?

Make and verion of your BIOS may also be helpful.

check no pci card have rode out or owt.
undo anychanges to hardware if you made any,
check to see if you auto detect drives in bios ok.
