Thanks Judy thatts gonna be really helpful!
I've brought a new computer YAY! So Now I need to reformatt my old one so hopefully those instructions will work!
Billybob, or anyone...whats this BIOS thing and why would I need to change it..because even though I know you can download a start up thingamy to a disk, I still haven't managed to get my floppy drive to work!
Thank you all for being patient with me!

Hey Jen; two questions. 1- does the light on your floppy drive stay on all the time?
2- I'm assuming you know how to access your bios. If not, restart & hit delete. In standard cmos features, does it show a drive A. If it does, then most likely you have your floppy cable crossed, or upside down. Hope this helps Judy

Nope the lights not on, I've tried taking it out and redoing it on the system but it doesn't like it, it finds it and says its finding the software for the new hardware and the floppy shows in the hardware list but it doesn't go any further than that!

Have you tried replacing the floppy drive with a new one?

Sounds like your floppy has flopped. You might want to consider getting a new one before you reformat.

Inferno

Before I reformatt?!
Thats the best thing yeah?
