I've done this successfully many times before; but now all of a sudden, fdimage refuses to work an ANY of the 5 systems I have here. It will not run in any Win9x system; it throws illegal operation errors. Under Windows NT, depending on the FTP server I got it from, it just hangs or does nothing and quits. Under 2000 it doesnt do anything, just returns to the DOS prompt. I have tried and downloaded fdimage from ftp through ftp6 [ftp4 doesnt allow guest access?] with no success. What is odd is different fdimage files from different ftp sites act differently. I'm quite flustrated and quite confused. Is there an obvious mistake I am making? Because I just dont see it...
