You may need to go into your computer setup when it firsts boots (screen usually says F2 or Del to enter setup), look for a boot sequence or boot devices or something like that. You can set it to boot in a certain order, in other words to first look at your hard drive or maybe first look at your cdrom or floppy. Most likely it's hard drive first, you'll need to change it to floppy first, save the settings and exit, reboot, and provided the disk is in the drive it should boot to dos. Hope it helps, good luck. I'd also suggest using a program like Norton's Ghost to take a backup image of your system after you reload it. That way, when you want to do this again you only need to apply the image to your system (5 minutes) vs. formatting and reinstalling.

You're probably right.
