If it is a 98 boot disk, and you are unable to boot, my geuss would be your IDE calbe is loose, or the power connecter is loose. Possibly a bad drisk, or a bad drive even. There are many things that *could* be wrong. I would start by opening your case and making sure all the cables are plugged in completely, and also that you have a bootable disk with AT LEAST the fdisk program.

Keep us updated.

I have win98/2000/Me boot disk;the floppy drive didn't work shortly after the failure of xp installation;I have tried to boot on the floppy boot disk,but the computer coulldn't boot on it;I haven't moved the computer and I didn't touch it,so it can't be a plug issue;and the floppy disk works with the other computer;so what's going on?
Help please
