Many thanks to all those who responded to my post in this thread. All comments are sincerely appreciated. I thought it might be helpful to others to mention the solution that worked for me. Recall that the problem was a "Sector not found" complaint in attempting to build a fixit 1.44" floppy using fdimage.exe from the 2.1.7 CD-ROM distribution of FreeBSD from Walnut Creek. The solution was to use an updated version of fdimage.exe obtained from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools. The updated version was dated 970507 and contained 17,728 bytes. The version distributed with the 2.1.7 CD was dated 2/9/97 and contained 16,174 bytes. BTW, the version distributed with the 2.2.1 CD is dated 3/16/97 and also contains 16,174 bytes. Both of these versions seem to suffer from the same problem. The updated version that I obtained via FTP seemed to work just fine. I was also successful using rawrite. I hope this may be helpful to others. ... doug ______________________________________________________________________________ Doug Jolley mailto://doug@cybernautics.net http://www.cybernautics.net Don't bogart that file, my friend.
