Check your CMOS settings at boot time. Look at Boot Sequence... It's probably set to "C,A" -- which means it checks the hard drive first, and since you have a bootable partition on it, it didn't even look at the floppy. Change this setting to "A,C" (or whatever your drive letters happen to be), save and exit. Everything should run smoothly. Hope this helps.
