Why can't i get an old 5.25 floppy drive to work on my computer?
There could be any number of issues: 1. If you have it connected via a floppy cable in your computer, you may need to change the settings in your BIOS to specify the type of floppy drive. Most will default to a 3.5" 1.44 MB drive. 2. The read / write heads may be dirty. 3. In this day and age, finding a "sane" (working, non-damaged) 5.25 floppy disk is very difficult. The disk you are trying to use may be damaged.

How do you reformat to Windows 98 SE and get rid of the Windows ME that is on the PC now?
To anser you're question, First you uninstall Me. Then you need a floppy of windows 98 and the Installation disk for window's 98. First you use the 98 floppy to format. You will have an a:\ prompt that you type format c: so that it reads A:\FORMAT C:. Press enter, and push y, for yes to format. After format, type in the drive letter to you're cd-rom and push enter. Then type INSTALL and enter.This will load windows 98 .Follow the load directions from there. If there is anything in your computer that you want to save (documents, email, pictures, etc.) then print out or save to disk or CD what is important. If you don't save what you want, it will be completely erased by following these instructions. Also, be sure you have a valid installation key for Windows 98. You can't install Windows without it. Now, create a floppy boot disk: Put a blank floppy disk into drive A:, then go to Start-->Programs-->Accessories-->Command Prompt. At the command prompt, type FORMAT A: /S and press Enter. Follow the prompts to format the floppy disk (it will automatically be made bootable). Next, restart your computer *with the floppy disk still in the drive*. You need your PC to "boot" from the floppy disk. If it does not and instead loads Windows ME again, restart your computer and get into your BIOS (which, depending on the model of you PC, will require you to press DEL, F1, F2, F10, INSERT, or perhaps some other key as your PC starts--check your manual). In the BIOS change the Boot Order to make your floppy drive the first boot device, the CD drive the second boot device, and your hard drive the 3rd boot device. Save the changes in the BIOS and restart again. Now, having booted from the floppy disk, at the A:\> prompt, type FORMAT C: and follow the prompts to erase your hard drive. [WARNING! Anything you did not save on your computer will be lost after the format!] After the format, remove the floppy disk and restart your PC with your Windows 98 CD in your CD drive. Again, if the PC does not boot from the CD, access the BIOS and check your boot device order. The Windows 98 CD should start and walk you through installing a clean copy of Windows 98 on your PC. [Note that bootlegged and otherwise copied Windows 98 CDs probably won't be able to boot your computer.]
How do you make bootable floppy disc of window NT?
From which platform? From a Windows platform, insert the floppy into your disk drive. You can do this any number of ways but I'll give you the two easiest for me: 1. Right click on start, hit explore, drag your data to the disk drive. It will copy it, not move it. Remove disk. 2. In the program that opens the data you want to transfer (so perhaps Word for a paper you wrote), have the data open in the window, click on File, Save As, and Save it to your floppy drive (usually drive A). Close program. Remove disk.
