Hi Alex,
Shortly after Windows setup starts running you should be taken to a screen that prompts you to create a Startup Disk.
After the Startup disk is created you should be prompted to remove the floppy from the drive.
During the Windows Install the computer will restart several times and it needs to do so without a floppy in the drive.
Take out the floppy and restart the computer. Post back.
