In most cases, what you download from the Internet is a "boot floppy
diskmaker"....a program that will create a boot floppy when you run it. Do
not download the boot disk maker to the floppy disk; download it to the
hard drive of any working computer, then run it ad follow the instructions
to create a boot floppy disk. When done, take the boot floppy to your
computer and boot with it.

I installed a formatted Hard Drive in my computer and attempted to boot up
with a floppy. In fact, I attempted to boot up with 3 different floppies
which I had downloaded from the internet. In each case I received the
error
message, "Invalid System Disk. " I tried changing the order of boot up in
the BIOS, but that did help.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
