Hi Michelle,
It is very common to have problems creating (working) boot floppies, caused by bad media. Lately, I need to throw out about 1 in every 3 I try.
Ensure they are reformatted, and contain 0 bad blocks, otherwise you will be frustrated!

Go to the Debian-FTP site and download:
<ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/tools/rwwrtwin.zip>
It will help you to make the floppies. (Wenn Du mehr fragen hast, kannste auch PM machen)
