Hello,

I would like to install a new OS on my Travelmate 350 TE currently
running Win ME and I would like to make a clean install.

I have an external floppy CDROM combo that require an istalled driver
to be used.
I cannot find instructions how to make this device bootable.

TIA

The CDROM is already the first in the boot order. The point is that I
have an external Combo drive that runs only _after_ that the OS is
loaded with the HotIDE driver.

My question was how to make it really bootable.

Now I got it: I had installed a program to control the bootup process
that prevented the bootup from the CDROM.

I uninstalled it and now it works.

Bye
