shows Win98 boot screen, then loads black screen

This is about a friends computer, I don't know what his PC's specs are except that he is running Win98 on an Asus motherboard.

When you turn on his PC the Win98 boot screen pops up like normal, but then a black screen comes up with nothing but the hour glass cursor, then after a second the hour glass disappears. When I press "ctrl alt delete", the window pops up with no programs running in it.

I tried inserting a win98 boot disk (that is a good disk) but then the bios boot screen loads and then stops with just the cursor blinking at the left. I then tried inserting my Win98 cd into his cd-rom drive but it just ignores it. I went into the PCs bios and made sure it was set to boot from the floppy, but it still wont boot from it. Any ideas?

Thanks!
