My NT server for some reason will not reboot without a startup floppy disk.?

I have a NT server that will only boot off a floppy disk that contains ntldr, ntdetect.com and boot.ini files. I have copied the files from the disk to the root of the C drive but still no sucess. I have made sure that the boot order is correct and ran chkdsk but sympton on screen is that I have a black screen after all the POST has finished.

any suggestions?
