    Drive I/O Error

    I have been having some problems with my computer. I went to MS web site and d/l their windows memory diagnostic software. The software required me to make a boot floppy, witch I did. So you are suppose to restart the computer with the boot floppy in the drive. When it starts to boot up I get a drive I/O error. If I remove the floppy it boots like it is suppose to. Anybody have any ideas. Sorry if I am not posting this to the correct area. Thanks in advance.

    Yep, you should boot from the diskette. An I/O error indicates either a bad drive, a bad diskette, or a corrupted file on the diskette.
