Please help? > Heh, It sounds like your trying to use something like DOS/Windows to just 'copy' the image onto the disk, is that correct? If so, you're doing it wrong. If in DOS, you need to use 'rawrite.exe' or a simaliar product. If in Windows, you'll need to reboot into DOS and still use rawrite or a simaliar product. The idea here, is to make an 'image', or an exact bit for bit, byte for byte copy. You can't do that with copy.
