Ted,

This is not necessarily an XP operating system issue. It sounds more like a 
hardware issue with either the floppy disk itself or the Floppy disk drive or 
the Floppy disk controller. You might be able to confirm this by borrowing a 
bootable floppy from a friend or someone else and trying to boot off that disk. 
If this works, then issue will be with XP (though I doubt it will work). If not 
then it will confirm that it is a hardware issue as I mentioned before. 

You might also want to check BIOS setup for floppy disk.

I hope this helps mate.

Cheers

Subject: [mswindowsxp] Creating a Bootable Floppy.


Hi, all.
I am trying to create a bootable floppy in XP using the "Create an MS-DOS 
startup disk" function, but a few moments after I've inserted the floppy I get 
the following message: "An unexpected I/O error has occurred." Why is this?

I read in a forum of someone having a similar problem and he has replaced the 
floppy drive and cables without correcting the fault.

I have Windows XP and 512 megs of Ram. I have an 80 gb HDD, a DVD-ROM, a Ricoh 
DVD writer and a 40 GB Samsung removable HDD.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Ted.
