Maybe not so simple. Before I got my current computer I read a few
computer books. They all said be sure to make one of those rescue boot
disks in the floppy drive and put it up some place safe. So a few days
later after I got my current computer all hooked up I made a boot disk and
put it up some place safe.

If you don't have a floppy drive then how do you make a boot disk? Or
are boot disks not needed anymore?

Personally, I don't think I have ever used my floppy drive in the five
years I've had my computer.
