I think you can but on your Windows 98 Computer make sure that in your BIOS the Floppy Drive is the very top one.
Plus to get to the BIOS depends on your Computer. Here are the shortcuts that I know of to get to the BIOS:
F2 , Del (or Delete) , or F10
Just experiment with the keys until you get to the BIOS.

Yes. Bootable disks created in Windows XP and later use the same files as Windows Me. They will all be able to access and format the hard drive.

How do you copy a document from Widows ME to Windows Vista using a 3.5 floppy and Microsoft Word?
If the computer with Vista doesn't have a floppy disk drive, you won't be able to. You could, however, open the document on another computer and then save it to a CD or portable disk drive. Then you should be able to upload it onto the computer with Vista (if the computer with Vista has a Word program installed. But even if the computer with Vista doesn't have Word installed, you can still upload it, but you won't be able to view it.)

How do you put pictures from a camera that uses floppy disks onto a computer?
Usually, you will just need to insert the floppies into the floppy disk drive on a computer. If your computer does not have a floppy drive (most made since 2003 don't), you will need to purchase an external floppy drive. These connect to your computer through a USB port. After you plug it in and insert a disk, you should be able to find the drive and view your pictures.

It is checking to see if a bootable disk (i.e. windows startup disk) is inserted. Obviously, if it didn't check + your computer didn't work then you wouldn't be able to use your startup disk.
Is a floppy disk attracted to a magnet?
The 3.5 floppy disk does have magnetism within them and for this reason, magnets destroying data on the floppy disk fueled the myth about magnets destroying your computer. If you buy a cheap magnet and put it near a floppy disk, the magnet will stick to it. After a few seconds, the information on that floppy disk will be destroyed and you will no longer be able to access the data.
