Create a material in 3dsmax for the floor. Go down to maps in the material editor for the floor and click reflection. Select Ray Trace and then set the value to about 20.

Your "NEW" to this.

Okay, press "M" to open your materials editor. Select a material ball that is not being used. Scroll down and set the color. The scroll down to maps and do what I said before. To apply the material, drag the material ball over to the object.

lol, i'm an idiot, was just tryin to type fast, but i created a flat plane, but its green(not sure if the color matters) and then i go to my material editior. when i use a ball that is not in use i go to my maps, but when i click on raytrace there is no option to change the value.

The value number is next to "reflection" in the maps section. There is a box next to it with "100" in there. change it to 20-30. Or so.
