A neighbor asked me to reload Win95 on their CTX EZBook 700 nodebook.  
I was able to reformat the harddrive but had to purchase a floppy SINCE the notebook did not come one (found one on eBay).  
Using the floppy I was able to reload DOS but I'm having problems with the harddrive being lost from the configurations.  
The notebook is using a PhoenixBIOS 4.05.C19.  By changing the BIOS settings and removing the floppy from the BIOS, I can get the harddrive located again.  Same appears to happen when I try to add the CD ROM.  

Does anyone have any notes as to how the BIOS works or does anyone have a similar notebook and can relay their settings.  Once the HARD Disk Drive is reformatted, you will have to insert the boot diskette to use the CD-ROM drive.

From there, you install Windows 95.

Set the FIRST boot device to A:Thanks for the reply.  I guess I misstated.  The PROBLEM that I'm having is setting to BIOS to consistently read the harddrive and CDROM.   If I tell the BIOS that a harddrive and CDROM is present, upon reboot, the harddrive fails.  If I disable the CDROM in BIOS and reboot, the notebook comes up but I cannot select the CDROM.  
I've like to know how this BIOS works, or get the BIOS configuration of a similar computer.

Note - originally, the notebook did not come with a floppy.  Once I BOUGHT one, I had to configure it in the BIOS before it could be used.   The problem may have started then.
