    Change the boot sequence in the Bios to boot from the floppy first, assuming hard drive is new or not formatted, and you are trying to fdisk and/or format.
    However if nothing is wrong with the hard drive in the first place, the above advice by merlin applies.
    Is there something wrong to want you to have a boot floppy other than as a fail safe?

    The same thing happened to my daughters PC.

    I could not access safe mode and eventually had to reinstall windows.
    Afterwards I deleted a freebe Disney program, the disc was left in the PC when it crashed - last on guilty as sin... QED.

    I also ran the system file checker and found a corrupted file, so far all is now OK, though I intend on wiping the disc and starting again as her system could do with a clear out.
