Erase Hard Drive

This gives me no explanation as to what it is or what to do about it. QUESTIONS: http://www.killdisk.com/killdisk-application-faq.htm What is this error? Does it pertain to my floppy disk, drive, OS etc? and most importantly, How can i get rid of it and run my setup? jiddy33, Aug 2, 2005 #1 Sponsor Rollin' Rog Joined: Dec 9, 2000 Messages: 45,855 You really should ask your friend for details -- but it sounds like you must first copy the SETUP program from the floppy to your hard drive.

They often just download the setup program direct to the floppy and think it's going to boot I'll mark the thread "Solved" for you, but for any future visits, be advised the option is open to you in the Thread Tools menu when appropriate.
