This has something to do with the quality of the floppy drive. With the floppy drive a dying tech nobody seems to come out with quality ones anymore. You best bet is to create the boot disk from the floppy drive. But this will sound ridiculous but you can do it by booting from a Win9X CD and typing the command makeboot. I think this is the command but you can make a boot disk from the Win9X CD. But then who needs a boot disk when you can boot from the CD Rom?

the past.
