That should do the trick.

Had a quick look through google not much there, but it was quick.

You may find that your floppy disk are corrupt i have this problem all the time there is usually no need to format floppys with xp.

Did you check your floppy drive? It could be bad, try replacing it with a known good drive. If it still will not work try a USB jump drive.
