Can you boot from a floppie?

I always used a boot disk, as in floppie disk with Windows ME.

I dunno, I still dont know that much about comps

I have the Dell OEM cd for ME, does that work. If so, great.

Yeah that will work.

If it's a Dell PC I'm pretty sure you'll have to set it to boot from a CD in your bios.

Actually, every windows ME cd i've come across won't boot from cd, doesn't detect as a bootable cd..... i don't know why MS did that... very odd... However it can be into a boot cd very easily, go to google and search for creating a bootable ME cd, i know you can, i have, but it's been a long bloody time..
