hello,

recently  i downloaded the boot.flp image file so i could make
an installation disk. i've got win95 so i booted into safe mode
before using rawrite on boot.flp to write to a  dos formatted disk.
now when i reboot with the disk in the floppy drive, my computer
starts to read the drive, then the light disappears, and my computer
stops...nothing comes on the screen. 

i'm intending to boot from a dos partition. i used FIPS to create
a second partition, then destroyed it with FDISK so i have 90M
on m;y hard drive doing nothing.

Any clues?

Jon
