boot disc error..cant work :-(

I put my boot disc in consisting of the mpc.sys file and the exe file and it looks to boot up and then reads boot disc error or something to that effect..So being the computer genuis that i am, i formatted another disc and downloaded the operating system again unzip the files and copy them over to my disc drive..same problem..When i rebooted the mpc it worked oddly enough but not anymore....i have a 2000 classic..Anyone has had this happen? i cant work on anything

yea. its as simple as that. redownloading the os. try using a different floppy disk. that may work. it happened to me a couple times before. i hope im not telling you any wrong info, but its happened to me before and thats all i had to do.

good luck

I did this even tried on different brands of floppy..i would even mind setting it up to boot from my scci jaz drive (which by the way its not the problem cause it does it when the jaz is disconnected as well)..the thing is the last time i did this it messed up my files i had the jaz disc..you know the whole windows/10 character bullshit

Where did you go to get the o.s?Forat?If not try them and just reformat a disk and try again.See if that works.

Wow i found a old 1.5 ops disc and it works...why doesnt it work for V 1.7
Are there any major difference and does it matter..i just need to get work done..im thinking maybe im copy it wrong..Doubt it, im a senior adminstrator on my daytime job, this would be really embarrasing..

heh. dig it

Congrats bro.
