running from from vista boot up

my western digital sata hard drive clicks now and again, there is an update
i have downloaded to rectify this problem from western digital which boots
from a floppy, i have tried to run it on my laptop but it wont run, it just
keeps saying remove discs and press any button to retry. any ideas would be
great. seems as vista does not like booting from floppys. would i need to
boot with a another version of windows startup disc then swap discs at the
dos prompt??

Vista has nothing to do with booting from a floppy, this is controlled by
your motherboard BIOS. Do the directions for this update from WD state the
the floppy it creates is bootable, can you provide a link?
