I received a webplayer not long ago, and it has win98 lite on the DOC, and I just put in a hard drive with a bunch of mp3s, and now the webplayer will not boot off the DOC. (Currently the laptop hard drive is not bootable, I did not install an OS or copy sys files to make it boot on its own). Is there any way around this or any way I can still boot to the DOC without installing an OS on the laptop hard drive? (It's only a 1.3gb, and my mp3s use up about 99% of the space)

changing the boot order may not work - but what will work is to set the first hard drive to "none" It will boot off the doc, and windows will see the drive despite the setting in the bios.
