I have tried using the tools\dos_tools\rawrite floppies\boot.flp a: command, I have tried using the "GO" program which first allows you to format the disks. I have made sure I used brand new floppies each time, but nothig seems to work?? When I put the boot disk in and tried to reboot my computer it just stops. the light comes on for the floppy for about 3 seconds and then nothing.. I have a 486DX266 with 16MB of ram. Please help.
