In addition to reading the instructions for creating a usable floppy boot disk, there
are help files listed in the sidebar here to look at also. If the old PC never looks
at the floppy when trying to start, it wouldn't make any difference if it was a good
floppy boot disk or not.
You didn't SAY that you heard the system access the floppies you tried. You didn't
SAY that there was any change in the error message. Why not actually describe the
problem with more detail? Including where you got those downloads, and what you
did with them to use them.
Ever since the middle of the old 80286 cpu era, PC's have included a CMOS-stored
BIOS that allowed users to go in and make changes in the "Setup". You need to have
the "Boot Sequence" looking at the floppy FIRST. Change that by pressing whatever
key flashes on the screen during the boot-up, saying "press xxx to enter setup".
