Even with a floppy it says "I/O error"?

Take off all drives. Then be sure Floppy is connected. Besure its on last connector of the cable. Be sure the Cmos is set to boot from Floppy First then HD or CD and HD.
Depending on Cmos you may have to set it to boot from floppy if a newer machine and that A Floopy is enabled.
Be sure you have a bootable floopy in the drive.

Then Is it trying to boot or just dead. I.e. Is it going through POST OK?
I'm assuming that the floppy works ok on another machine.
