MP-F51W is an 800K drive for sure. Itll never work on any level with that drive, unless you have another mac that runs 800K disks.
You need the 2MB drive, or the high density drive to boot from disks made on a PC.
I would format a DS-DD disk (without the hole), and then make a minimal system disk by using the Finder/System thats on your currently working HDD...
I used to do that alot back in the day, as thats my emergency "get back into the system" disk.
Oh... and if I were you, I would invest into a Floppy Emu from Steve @ bigmessowires before buying an FDD. Honest opinion. You still have an 800K drive, AND you have the Floppy Emu to mount 1.44MB Disk images. And you can run in HD20 mode and run hard disk images from your SD card. Cant go wrong here...
