How to Boot a Dell Dimension 4400 From a Floppy
- 1). Save all of your work and shut down your computer. Restart your computer and press the "Del" key when the blue Dell logo appears.
- 2). Click the "Boot" tab in the BIOS window that appears. Use the arrow keys to choose your floppy drive rather than the hard drive to be booted first. Click the "Tab" key once you have the correct setting. Press the "F10" key to save and exit.
- 3). Put the disk that you want to boot from in your drive and turn off your computer. Restart your computer and it will boot from the disk.
