   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?

   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.

   If you use that book, jump to page 72. There is a troubleshooting question   
   that exactly matches your issue.
