If its xp or 2000 press F8 as soon as you see the blue boot screen.

Make a boot disk, it's been a while, I think you can do it from System Properties, right click on My Computer.
XP and 2000 you have to use a boot disk, in this case an XP or 2000 install CD, and get into the recovery console.
In addition, you should be able to find how to make a boot disk on the Internet like this (works on WinMe)

Also your BIOS needs to know the floppy comes before the HD in the boot order.
