I have been trying to run MEMTEST86 and have decide I do not know how to install it to a floppy. every time I run the disk on boot I get remove the disk and press a key to start over. what am I doing wrong?
 
Download Memtest floppy image: http://www.memtest.org/download/2.01/memtest86+-2.01.floppy.zip
Extract the zip file
Insert a blank floppy
Double click on Install.bat

Restart, confirm CMOS set to boot from Floppy
All done :)

From README.txt, inside the extracted zip "floppy" folder:
BIOS reporting floppy disk read errors. Either re-write or toss the floppy disk.

Also run Memtest for 7 Passes on your Ram (approx: 4Hrs)
Any faults what-so-ever, discard the Ram card and purchase new
.
 
File Hashes the same :)

Best to use link I provided.
bobl61 attached file, is in .floppy (dot floppy) format, difficult to use and extract
