If you don't have an operating system you should be booting from a boot disc so you can prepare the drive for installation of windows. Boot with disc, run FDISK to partition the drive, then FORMAT C: to format drive. Re-boot the pc and install windows.

To boot from the floppy you have to make sure that it is first in the boot sequence.

Boot up the computer.
You will receive the checksum error and the option to Enter Setup.
Enter Setup and without changing anything select Save and Exit.
You should no longer receive the error.
