It certainly defaults to the floppy drive.
That depends on the motherboard manufacturer and BIOS...

An easy way to check the order is seen in BIOS, it should be an obvious menu.

When you change the boot order, you don't have to worry about what button to push to get you to a boot menu

I'd recommend a clean install over copying the O/S, especially if you have nothing to transfer. Even if you just have files that you want, those are easy to put onto a CD or flash drive and put it back on.
