Just had to respond to your plea.  I have the same problem when I send 
out a request for help and get no response.  Anyway, back in the 
eighties,  the BIOS was changed  to allow  for computers with only one 
floppy to  fake  switching to a non-existent b: drive.   My suggestion 
to you is to set your boot program (grub, etc.) to allow for a  true DOS 
boot (Freedos/4dos in my case) and read in  your floppies (sounds like a 
program install).  Then  access  the  data  from Linux, if that's your 
choice.  Just another way of looking at the problem.
