Where did you get the bootdisk?
It may be faulty.

Hi russt,

Perhaps the boot disk is faulty and the system is not recognizing it as a bootable system disk. Try creating a new startup disk by d/loading the file to create the disk from here (http://bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm). Click on the link for Windows ME OEM and d/load the file to hard drive (do NOT d/load the file directly to floppy disk, as this does NOT create the startup disk!!). Once the file has been d/loaded, put a formatted floppy disk in the drive, then double-click on the d/loaded file in order to create the startup disk.

Try booting from the newly created startup disk.
