hello
the name of computer i'm working at is a IPC CELERON PENTIUM 2. i got no
trouble getting into bios,all i do is hit delete button when it starts up.
once i get into bios my boot sequence is
1 ide-o
2 floppy
3 armd-hdd
then i highlight 1ide-o and press F1 button and i get a list of options
to choose from. the list starts like this
options
disabled

the problem is it won't let me select floppy because at the top of the list
is says options disabled. so how do i enable the options

I suspect that your BIOS will not allow you to have the same device listed twice.

Change device 2 to disabled.

Change Device 1 to floppy.

Change Device 2 to IDE-0.

You may need to exit the menu and save settings in between changes.

Change the #2 setting of floppy to CDROM or SCSI first, then change the #1 entry to Floppy.
Then change the #2 entry to IDE-0.
