why is there a non system disk error when there is a 3 1/2 floppy disk in the drive, but not a cd?

------------------
pssst: gravity pushes.
 
Because maybe a CD is a CD not a disk? they read differently anyway dont they...read write vs read only perhaps? and of course, the floppy drive system is positively antiquated vs the cd...
 
It?s because in the BIOS of you pc is a Boot sequence that determines what drives are checked when a pc is booted. It normally starts with the a-drive, checks if there is some sequence that is needed to boot your pc. If not it checks your hard drive. If there?s a floppy in your a-drive that does not contain those sequences you?ll get your error message.

kobe, you need to start asking better questions! By better I mean ones I can answer! Like, what's the advantage of a CAM4 photosynthetic cycle over a CAM3 photosynthetic cycle? Or what's the advantage of being in a lytic or photolytic zone? Things like that.
