subject: A question ?

Good morning, Matt.

        I am trying to resuscitate an old P-166. It will not see the
        boot disk. I changed all that I could think of in the hardware.
        My question is if I BIOS it over to boot from the CD-ROM, does
        it have to be able to still see the IDE-1 master ? I think that
        the HDD is seized. The auto HD selection in BIOS will not see
        it. I was hoping to use it from the CD-ROM that has all the boot
        stuff.

        As far as hardware is concerned, at the end, I only had the HDD
        connected and live. Still nothing and I do not have an ERD here.
