Default REQ help on unusual floppy disk problem

Really weird. If I try to boot up with a W98 start up floppy disk in
the floppy drive, the boot hangs just after the start and stays there
forever. The floppy disk is okay- I have used it before.

If I remove the disk and reboot the machine, it boots up just fine to
the HD of course.

Any ideas?

Thank you

The drive itself could be bad...or possibly set incorrectly in the bios
