PROBLEM FACED:
recently while loading a software for hard disk management, by mistake i also said yes to boot by floppy (A drive), now i am unable to log on to my pc, as by default while starting it goes to boot by floppy and ask me to insert floppy. I tried all the ways (f2-bios set up utility, f11 , my xp-bootable cd: tried both system repair & reloading of xp) but am unable to succed as while repairing/ reloading xp, when the pc restart while repair/ reload process, the pc is again going to boot by floopy mode.

pls. help
 
for some reason i believe that u overwrote the mbr and it searches now for a disk to load from. atleast thats what i think. prob check with the soft u used to get to this state and check if there is any entry to edit and load from hd.
dunno
 
Go thru the BIOS/CMOS utility & look boot order selection & choose CD-room as 1st,HDD as 2nd & then Floppy as 3rd. Then reboot the computer.Try see if it works.
