Hello Calvin,
                 In the old days when DOS was the main OS, if a system had a single floppy, you would see the same drive specifiers when you copied a disk. The comand was 
copy a: b:   and the pc would ask for source in a:  then target in b: which only meant that you were to take the floppy containing the source out of the drive replacing it with a blank one ( the target). I have no experience with the LS 120 as I went from 1.44 Mb floppy to CDR so this may not apply but I would put a blank 120 in and see what happens. The other side of this coin is that you are asked to create a start up floppy but you are not mandated. Simply put, just cancel the creation request and continue with the M$ Windows installation.
Hope this helps,
Stephen Hager
