I ftp'd both the boot.flp file and the fdimage.exe files to my NT workstation harddrive. I put brand new floppy disk in drive a: However, when I run the fdimage.exe file it says that the boot.flp file is too big to fit on the floppy! I checked it's size, and indeed it is 1479138 bytes and a brand new floppy is only 1457664 bytes! What am I doing wrong? Your help would be greatly appreciated!
