Jeff, glad you got it sorted out. The only reason you should need the floppy
disks is if the PC is not capable of booting from CD, which yours should be.
Strange, but sometimes it works out that way.

I have a CD drive, but the boot disk isn't available in that format unless
one has the New Installation version. I have the Upgrade version, and the
assumption is that the previous OS has a suitable boot disk. We found out
this evening that this isn't a safe assumption ...

It seems that Gates & Co would provide a download that can go onto a CD, but
I didn't see one.

The upgrade disk I gave you the link to is bootable. Did you use that one or
not?
