see, its not a matter of not going in or coming out, it does that fine, but
when i put the floppy in, it barely reads, and a second later spits it right
back out and gives me the X disk icon. what exactly does the floppy need to
be a bootable system disk?

I'd try to repair it first... see:

There probably are other instructions on the web as well. Note that the
above is for 400K floppies, which should be very similar, but be aware that
the stuff about "felt" on the top of the drive arm isn't going to apply as
you'd have a real read/write head there instead. :-)
