Can't boot from floppy

Hi,

I'm working on an eMachine 300 MHz PC, running Windows 98, 256 MB RAM, AMD K6-2 processor.

I want to clear out and write zeroes to the hard drive, but the PC won't let me boot to the floppy drive. I must be missing something in the BIOS Setup, but I can't figure out how to get it to boot to the floppy.

(Windows 2000 was running on the hard drive with NTFS file system, and I can't seem to remove NTFS and return to FAT32 without writing zeroes to hard drive)

Any ideas? Thanks.

 

Should be in the manual. If you don't have one try:

To zero format find out the manufacturer of the hard drive and use their utility.

Yes, you certainly are missing something in the BIOS.
