   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?

   Correction: when I run AHDI from a floppy, the internal hard drive does come   
   on, but it is an amber light that does not turn green, and then AHDI says it   
   is not boot-loaded. I opened HDX and it recognizes the drive as Unit 0. Or, so   
   it seems. Please tell    
   me, am I doing something incorrect with the setup? Please bear in mind that I   
   have never used a MegaSTE before. I guess I am a novice at this. Sorry for all   
   the inquiries. Thanks.
