The floppy drive has been disabled at school, and you want to do your project at home and copy it to the floppy drive and use this floppy to transfer it to the school computer. What do you do? You certainly cannot open the CPU and reset the CMOS.

In most cases the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is configured to disable the floppy drive. To reset this settings, you need to bring up DOS. In DOS, there is a debug command which allows us to so. To clear the CMOS, go to DOS and type the following (type only the bold italic text):

C:\Windows\>Debug
-o 70 2e
-o 71 ff
-q
C:\Windows\>exit

Now restart the computer.

This hack works on almost all Award BIOS. If you have a different version, search astalavista.box.sk for the debug command for your BIOS version.
