Try running FDISK after you boot from your floppy to create a partition first.

If this is a BIOS killing virus, and the BIOS is trashed, then you could be in real trouble.

there are ways to fix this, however. check on your motherboard manufacturer's website for information. usually it involves pulling out the BIOS battery. best of luck.
