Not knowing exactly what media you have without seeing,  I can tell you that the 
original MS OEM boot floppy for the genuine MS OEM install CD isn't the same as what 
is on bootdisk.com, at least not the last I checked.  If you have a genuine branded 
MS OEM CD, it won't install on a formated drive IME.  It is for a new computer/hard 
drive that is unpartitioned/unformated, and is stated so on the floppy label.  In 
my experience, if the genuine MS OEM floppy disk sees a drive that isn't blank, it 
will terminate.  I installed hundreds of them and this was always the case.  The 
OEM floppy from MS would auto start the install process from the CD ROM.  The OEM 
floppy from bootdisk.com wouldn't.  You had to start it manually with the correct 
commands when you selected startup with CD ROM support. You are getting some good 
steps from Ed, but you are probably dealing with some unknown issues that can't be 
seen from the forum..
