Ok, I figured out I couldn't boot from cdrom so I got the 6 disk from microsoft and now need help getting them to work. I put in disk one and nada my computer when to the screen where u can pick how to start windows(safe, etc.) none of them work. I then went to bios and made it so just floppy would boot and no luck again, if anyone can help me and also please lemme know the boot order I should have because I think originally mine was floppy, HD, LS1 something like that. Thank you

If your BIOS are set to boot from the A:\ Floppy first, and IF there is the first boot disk in the floppy drive, then it will boot from the floppy.
The only way it would not, is if the floppy drive was not working. Check the cables, check the power cord, and check everything inside the case one more time.
