Hello Sydney,

Thank you for coming to AllExperts.
I will try to guide you to the CORRECT solution to your problem.

I do not endorse you dumping XP (which is NT based) for
old 98SE (DOS based).
That's like trading a 2004 Caddilac
for an Old Edsel, or Rambler.
Do NOT even go backwards like that.
Worse I don't think that will solve your problem.

Your problem is the drive itself.

Instead, get yourself a new Floppy Drive A. They are not expensive new, or Go to E Bay.

Have a nice day
M.
