I replace a faulty hd is my old p2, plugged it in, put windows 98 boot disk in and went thru Bios and that is all.  Though I may have dislocated a cable or something but checked and all looks ok.  It is only disk in system. I put disk into another comp, formatted, partioned using fat32 and looked fine before installing.
Puzzled that floppy will not read.
Can anybody offer hints
