You sure her PC doesn't support booting from a CD?

Don't be stingy on the type of disks you buy. Floppies today work maybe 4 times before they are useless, some are useless right out of the box. Get something that'll survive a trip through the mail.

Are you sure bacause I installed DOS 6.22 and Win 3.11 on an old 386 using only like 3 or 4 floppies. Each one was formatted and rewriten to like 6 times without a problem.
 
I mean I installed it like a month ago. The floppies were already like 1 year old though. There not no-name though there made by companys like Imation, 3M, and Maxell. I still like fiddling around with old computers.
