The reason I want this is because for some un-known reason, I can't boot from disks at all... And yes, just in case someone asks, I did change and save my boot order. So, I need to know if it is possible to boot from a floppy. Thanks

And you still can't boot with the knoppix cd? Have you tried the knoppix cd on another machine?
