Setup error #214

Hi all,
on trying to install Win 3.11 from original disks, I get the error "Setup error #214" and setup stops.
214 Source file is unreadable. This problem is probably due to drive hardware problems, corrupt files or disks, or, if you are setting up from a network, network problems. Setup error 214 can also be caused by incorrect CMOS settings for floppy drives or third party extended memory managers.
Sounds like a bad floppy, but check your CMOS settings and memory management.
