   Here are the problems I can think of:   
   1. The BIOS is not set to boot from the floppy (though you said it is).   
   2. You're not paying attention to the boot process and the floppy you chose   
      defaults to booting from the hard drive after a bit.   
      
   If you can't get this to work, you should find someone more technically-   
   oriented than yourself and have them do it for you.
