Check that it you're using HD 1.44M disks, and that your floppy drive is configured for 1.44M in your BIOS configuration. Also try format a: before using fdimage, or you can have fdimage format the disk for you. Check fdimage /? and use the format and verbose options. This will give you an idea of what's going wrong. Try scandisk a: after you format to check to see if anything is wrong. Also, maybe your floppy drive is worn out, or needs cleaned, or isn't 1.44M and / or HD. If all else fails, just re-download boot.flp, and make sure 'binary' option is enabled. Donn
