When the disk is in? The floppy?

You can probably reinstall windows without a floppy, by inserting the Windows CD.

Barring that, you can obtain a new windows boot disk here:

If the floppy itself isn't the problem, then check the following :

1. the boot order in the bios should be set to boot the floppy first

2. If the system is attempting to boot from the hard drive instead of floppy (because of non-bootable floppy/wrong boot order or damaged floppy), then it sounds like you haven't made the hard drive bootable.
You need to format the hard drive using the /s switch
i.e. format c:\s\q
