Default Re: How to boot from a boot disk?

Well to do a fresh install of 95 would be for thebest. However I cannot really get my hands on a copy it. I need a floppy copy of Win 95 casue there is no cd rom drive and I cannot install it in the BIOS so it could bootup from the CD copy I have. I've looked on ebay and they want like 20 dollars for the disks which are claimed to be unopened and unused and they want like another 20 dollars + for shipping and handeling. I've even looked for a 95 torrent file to download but there was even nothing there.
Basically the machine has crashed. And I want to boot the OS from the Boot Disk I made months ago. The boot disk is a floppy. I've tried the following commands:
scandisk.exe (worked)
format.com (did not work)
chkdsk.exe (did not work)
debug.exe (did not work)
fdisk.exe (did not work)
sys.com (did not work)
attrib.exe (did not work)
edit.com (did not work)

I've even tried those boot disks from bootdisks.com and other various sites but what else I don't understand is when I use one of those bootdisks I get off the net, why it gives me and error saying I cannot proceed cause its too big for my memory. What memory is it refering to my HDD or RAM?
