Changing from hard disk to floppy disk drive and vice versa?
Changing from a hard disk to a floppy disk drive involves physically replacing the hard disk with a floppy drive in the computer's hardware setup. This requires disconnecting the power and data cables from the hard disk and connecting them to the floppy disk drive instead. Conversely, switching back to a hard disk from a floppy drive would involve reversing this process. It's important to ensure that the computer's BIOS settings are adjusted accordingly to recognize the newly installed drive type.
Why is it not necessary to inform cmos setup about the installatiuon of a new hard drive?
will auto detect it
Why is it not necessary to inform CMOS setup about the installation of a new hard drive?
The BIOS will inform CMOS when there is a new installation with auto detection.
Which configuration are includeing in main screen cmos setup?
Standard CMOS ConfigurationThe standard CMOS configuration screen includes settings for items such asDateTimeFloppy disk drive types for drives A: (first floppy disk drive) and B: (second floppy disk drive)Hard drives connected to the IDE interface
State the advantages of CMOS setup?
By entering the CMOS setup you are able to change the boot sequence of your computer, enable or disable RAID, and change power-on settings. The CMOS setup also allows you to view and change floppy, hard drive, and optical drive settings, as well as change a number of other hardware configuration options.
On older computers changes are made to the CMOS setup data using a setup program stored on what?
a Floppy Disk

How do you make bootable floppy disc of window NT?
From which platform? From a Windows platform, insert the floppy into your disk drive. You can do this any number of ways but I'll give you the two easiest for me: 1. Right click on start, hit explore, drag your data to the disk drive. It will copy it, not move it. Remove disk. 2. In the program that opens the data you want to transfer (so perhaps Word for a paper you wrote), have the data open in the window, click on File, Save As, and Save it to your floppy drive (usually drive A). Close program. Remove disk.
Does the motherboard configuration stored in BIOS setup need to be changed when a new floppy drive is installed?
For most users, no. The BIOS default is to search for floppy drives on boot up. However, if someone has changed those settings, like I always do with mine, then you may need to switch it back on in the BIOS. If you don't have a floppy, or have one but never use it anymore, then switching off the 'floppy seek' option in the BIOS can speed up the boot up process.
You are trying to clean your hard drive but when you put your XP Setup disk in it says that it cannot see the hard drive how do I get it to see the hard drive?
For some motherboard you have to preinstall AHCI drivers. You have to check the motherboard manufacture website and download drivers for SATA controller. And when you are installing xp during first seconds of installation when you see that the OS is asking for drivers something like "Press F6 to install addtional drivers". You have to press F6 and prepare a floppy disk with the AHCI driver on it. thne just install drivers from the floppy and it will allow xp to see and work with the hard drive.
