if you have a cd burner you can use a cd instead of a floppy just set your bios to boot from a cd first

What burning software are you using?
Nero has an option for creating bootable cds.

i burned it as bootable, and it did boot into the program , the debugger is giving me **** with both a floppy and a cd now, so its now a software issue, which is worse, o well ill figure it out somehow
