If the floppy disk in the drive is not bootable, if no floppy disk is in the
drive, or if there is no floppy drive installed in the computer, the computer
generates an error message.

drive. If no operating system is on the drive, the computer generates an
error message.

If no CD is in the drive, or if the CD has no operating system, the
