Hi everybody,
In trying to get Slink installed successfully on my laptop (IBM
Thinkpag 390E) I have learned that it is important to upgrade the Bios
first. So, for the short term, I am taking some steps backwards. I
downloaded a bios upgrade program on to a diskkette from IBM's website. To
perform the upgrade, I need to boot up the computer with this diskette in
the floppy drive. When I do that however, the computer gives me an error
message saying that there is an invalid system disk in the floppy drive.
I am instructed to remove it and then hit any key to continue. This
doesn't happen with any disk as I can still boot up from a boot floppy. I
think this is due to my installing LILO on the MBR. So I did an "fdisk
/mbr" to remove LILO and then attempted to perform the bios upgrade again.
I still get this error. So I then downloaded the upgrade program on to
another diskette (in case the disk was the problem) and I still get
this message. Can anyone tell me how can I fix my mbr so that I can
boot up into this program and upgrade my BIOS?
Thanks,
Bryan Walton
