i think many of us have had this trouble before, so dont feel too bad , its
an easy fix!

you need to get the fdimage.exe program off of the freebsd homepage too,
and then use that program in a dos mode environment (dosprmpt)...

if you simply type in fdimage it will give you the proper syntax to use it
properly...

if you have questions , feel free to email me directly and i will be glad
to help
