   > Hello!   
   >   
   > I recently purchased an Atari Mega STE with an internal hard drive. For some   
   reason, I cannot boot into the internal hard drive at all because I do not   
   know what key to push to bypass the floppy drive. I am still very novice at   
   this, plus the fact is I    
   do not have an owner's manual for this computer. Can someone give me some tips   
   on how to perform this action?

   Hi,   
      
   The ST always tries to boot on the floppy first. If there is no floppy   
   inserted, then it boots on the hard drive.   
   If your HD doesn't boot, it looks like there is some problem...   
   Do you have the original disk for the MegaSTE (it contains a tool, AHDI,   
   to install the boot sector on the HD, format it, verify it, etc) ?   
      
   Guillaume.
