re: invalid system disk Replace the disk, and then press any key

I have the same problem.  I decided to reformat my son's computer; backed up everything 
with drivers, boot-up disks, etc.,.  After doing the "dump", nothing will work.  
There is no prompt whatsoever.  Only two messages:

With no disk inserted:
"INVALID SYSTEM DISK.  REPLACE THE DISK, AND THEN PRESS ENTER."

With floppy boot disk and/or Windows 95 Disk:
"REMOVE DISKS OR OTHER MEDIA.  PRESS ANY KEY TO RESTART."

That's it & all attempts result in an annoying loop.

Any ideas?  TIA!
