Hi Terry,
 
How old is the system?  If it's over say 3 years old, it's
possible the CMOS battery on the motherboard is past its
sell by date, and so not keeping the BIOS settings.
 
George.

        hi 
         
        Would Any of you have any idea why the following is
happening?
         
        My pc no longer boots up as normal, it seems to just
go round in circles a lot.  Virtually every time I turn it
on, I have to get sighted assistance to go into the bias.
The pc continuously wants to boot from the floppy drive.  I
have to click onto c drive, come out of the bias, then allow
it to continue.
         
        A secondary problem is, that it is suddenly
rebooting itself as well.
         
        JFW6, xp pro, avg with up to date virus definitions
and cygate.
         
        Any ideas welcome.
         
        Terry
