well, aside from faulty hardware, which we can get to later if necessary, make sure the floppy is at the top of the boot order in the bios. also, you may want to get a new bootdisk from online, if yours is old.

yes, isnt troubleshooting fun?

since also how do i remove scratches from my disk. i found a nice upgrade version of windows xp but it says my windows 98 disk isnt a windows disk. has to many scratchs
