Did you use a thing like Rawrite? The cd should autoplay in windows...and has an option on the screen that comes up to write a boot disk. Push that button! :)
Probably a dead floppy. Try again. Silly but true. And for a boot option in the BIOS, there may not be one, unless you care to update your bios *flash it* & see if they now provide one. I'm sorry if I went over your head here however those are the options I now of that you have available.
