Startup disc creation problem

I put in a floppy-go to add/remove, then create disk. when I click create disk it tells me to insert my "CD named Windows 98SE" I do and nothing happens. My floppy A drive is working fine. I can copy files to and from the disk. I just cannot create a startup.I cleard my temp files, ran scandisk _all in DOS. No errors were found. I am a maintenance freak and am always on top if keeping a clean house.
I have my original Boot Disk which I got from Dell with my PC.I also have previous disks that I created in the past. Just wondering why this is occurring?Any suggestion would be great.
I know I can copy the important files for a boot up to a floppy thru a Dos command. Does anyone know it?
Thanks in advance.......Mark

I don't know the DOS comands, but
you can download a boot disc from
one of these sites.

www.bootdisk.com

www.startdisk.com
