I Would like to format my drive. I know how to use a start
up disk but my problem is when i start my computer with
the start up floppy my compter reads the floppy for a few
seconds then stops and does nothing. My boot order is set
to read floppy,cdrom,hardrive. I can read things on
floppy's when windows is loaded so my floppy drive does
work. Have tried makeing several new copies of a start up
disk and still a no go please help??????

Try to make yourself another EBD from
ControlPanel/AddRemovePrograms/StartupDisk...

if it still won't boot, check your BIOS floppy disk settings
