Bit of a weird one here, though possibly not to some (I hope) Normally I just use my A1200 and its hard drive to boot, however when I want to boot into a game via a floppy, some just won't have it though the floppy drive registers their presence, it just then goes straight to hard drive boot. Yet I can put in my Workbench disks and various magazine disks and it will boot from floppy with them. I can get other disks to boot from floppy though if I disable the DH0 boot option in the boot options screen. It's like the hard drive is taking priority no matter what but only for some disks.

A1200 with 4 meg ram expansion and CF hard drive, partitioned with sfs formatting option.
