I'm trying to prepare a FIXIT 1.44" floppy from DOS using the
same procedure specified in the installation instructions which
successfully produced a boot floppy. My source is the Walnut
Creek CD-ROM ver. 2.1.7. After grinding away for a bit, fdimage
complains, "Sector not found". I interpret that as meaning that
there is no more room. I note that the size of the FIXIT image
is 1,228,800 while the size of the BOOT image is only 1,136,128.
I thought that a disk image had to be exactly the size of the
disk as it is just a bit for bit image of the disk. Any
suggestions? Thanks for any help.
